Former BCCI President Sourav Ganguly defended his decision to appoint Rohit Sharma as India's captain, amidst past criticism. Ganguly, facing backlash initially, highlighted Rohit's success after leading India to victory in the T20 World Cup 2024. He stated, "I was criticised when I handed over the captaincy to Rohit. Now that we've won a trophy under his leadership, no one is abusing me." The transition saw Virat Kohli step down from T20I captaincy and later resign from ODI and Test roles. Ganguly's remarks come as India plans for new T20I leadership while Rohit continues as captain in ODIs and Tests.
