Kiran More backed Rohit Sharma for the Split Captaincy, said ?He will get his chance soon?.



Former Indian wicket-keeper and chief selector Kiran More feels that Team India?s white-ball deputy Rohit Sharma will soon get his chance in the limited-overs format to lead and India will go for the split captaincy.



Kiran More, who played for India between 1984 to 1993 as a wicketkeeper-batsman said that, ? I think the vision of the board drives these things. I believe Rohit Sharma will get a chance soon. Virat Kohli is a shrewd captain who played under MS Dhoni. How long he wants to captain the ODIs and T20s, he will also think. You will learn a lot more about these decisions after the England tour.?



The 58-years old who also the chairman of Indian selection committee reckons that India should work on the split captaincy rules.?

More is current Mumbai Indians (MI) talent scout and wicket keeping consultant.



Split Captaincy is implemented by several cricket playing nations. Australia - Aaron Finch (ODI and T20Is) while Tim Paine for Tests matches and England - Eoin Morgan (ODI and T20Is) with Joe Root for Test captaincy.



?It should work in India. What the senior players think about the Indian team?s future is very important. With Virat Kohli, captaining three teams isn?t that easy plus he has to perform as well. And I give him the credit for it because performing in every format while captaining and winning? but, I think there will be a time when Virat Kohli will say ?Now it?s enough, let Rohit lead the side?,? said More, who is on the Mumbai Indians roster as a scout and wicketkeeping consultant.



Kiran More further opined that the young Indian wicket keeper batsman Rishabh Pant is someone who can take India forward in the coming years.



Virat Kohli took the reins of all the formats back in January 2017 and has been quite successful in his run. He is a consistent performer for India and averages in excess of 50 in all the three formats.

Ex-India wicketkeeper Kiran More, now a member of the selection committee, has lauded Rohit Sharma's appointment as ODI captain, calling it a "very sensible choice." Many others, including More, think that the choice should have been taken long ago, considering Kohli's exhaustion from playing all three formats.



The BCCI, while declaring India's 18-member team for the next Test series against South Africa on December 8, also notified the decision reached by the Chetan Sharma-led national selection committee. However, although the decision was not unexpected, how it was carried out did raise a few eyebrows, especially given Kohli's prior statements about his desire to remain as India's Test and One-Day International captain.



More, on the other hand, emphasized the importance of having a captain who can win ICC trophies, which India failed to do under Kohli despite having an exemplary record in bilateral series ? he ended up winning nearly 71 percent of the one-day internationals (ODIs) in which he led India and is the fourth-best ODI captain in the history of the game in terms of win percentage.



<h2>Virat's bilateral records are outstanding, but you must win ICC tournaments to be successful: Kiran More.</h2>

"It's a fantastic decision for the One-Day Internationals and Twenty20 Internationals. I will not interfere with his (Virat Kohli's) position as captain of the Test squad. Virat has led India in two World Cups, the most recent in 2021. (50 overs in England and Twenty20 in the UAE). Virat's bilateral records are outstanding, but you must win ICC tournaments to be successful. It's critical to understand this,"?stated Kiran More. More told <a href="https://www.news18.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">News18.com</a> that he believes the selectors made the right decision.

"Virat can take the lead in Test matches, and Rohit can do the same in white-ball contests. I'm pleased with how things have turned out. In retrospect, this should have taken place a long time ago. In both forms, there was a lot of pressure on Virat to perform well. It had taken its toll. It should have been possible to provide Rohit at least one format sooner,"?he said.



<h2>He also talked about Ajinkya Rahane</h2>



Further, Rohit has been selected as India's new vice-captain, replacing Ajinkya Rahane, who has been picked to the team for the next series against South Africa despite his struggles with the bat. More believes that Rahane is under pressure even though he is a significant player.

"Ajinkya has a lot of time left in Test cricket. He is a high-caliber player. He will, without a doubt, have to do well since there is a lot of competition. In Australia, South Africa, and England, he has made significant and critical contributions when the situation called for it. He has produced solid hits, and he is a valuable member of the squad in his role as a batter,"&nbsp;said Kiran More.
