Former Indian cricketer Saba Karim has expressed admiration for Indian skipper Rohit Sharma for his captaincy and precise decisions in the ongoing second Test match against Bangladesh in Kanpur. Saba Karim’s comments come in the wake of a remarkable performance by Indian batting lineup, which demonstrated an aggressive approach on day four on Monday following two days of rain-affected play. 

Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma performed brilliantly in reply to Bangladesh's first innings' total of (233). They both started the innings in an attacking mode, blazing towering sixes and setting the team off to a fiery start.

"I think it reveals a lot about Rohit Sharma's character. I think that's the kind of transformation we have seen in Rohit Sharma's captaincy in Test cricket now and before that we have seen in white ball cricket in T20 and ODI World Cups," Saba Karim said on JioCinema.

"I think Rohit's intentions have always been very clear. The decision-making has been very precise and I think it is good in a way that he's got players or resources in his lineup who can follow the path that he treads, and he leads by example all the time, and I've seen that in the past and even now in this Test innings. When he wants to impose as a team that you need to win this encounter, this is the way you have to take the game forward. And I think that's what Rohit and company have done so far.

Saba Karim also underlined that there is always a clear-cut objective under Rohit Sharma’s captaincy.

"So, this is the most pleasing and a very refreshing sight from Rohit Sharma's captaincy. If you have seen in the past by earlier captains at times, They say 'Let's take the time, let us settle down, then we'll take it forward. Let's play the 1st 5-6 overs and then we'll try and accelerate. But with Rohit Sharma at the helm, there's nothing of that sort. There are no half measures whatsoever. From the first ball, you need to make your intent very clear," Karim said.
