Matthew Hayden calls Rohit’s captaincy axing interesting

Matthew Hayden commented on Rohit Sharma’s removal as India’s ODI captain, calling it “an interesting move” and suggesting it could be a bonus if Rohit plays in the 2027 World Cup. Rohit was replaced by Shubman Gill as captain after India’s win over the West Indies. Hayden believes the move was influenced by Rohit’s age, as he is 38 and approaching the end of his career.

He praised the mix of youth and experience in India’s team, highlighting the impact of players like Yashasvi Jaiswal. Hayden also expressed excitement about Rohit and Virat Kohli’s return to action and noted the strong support for Indian players in Australia. The crowds in Perth, especially with many Indians living there, will celebrate both stars.
