After this, he was handed over the captaincy of the Test team before the Test series against Sri Lanka. Team India’s performance so far has been amazing after Rohit Sharma became the full time captain. Rohit Sharma was the first to face New Zealand after becoming the captain of the T20 team and India succeeded in defeating that team in the series. After this this team was also successful against West Indies. Hitman has registered consecutive victories as captain in the last 17 matches.
