After winning the Champions Trophy in 2025, Indian captain Rohit Sharma declared that he will not be abandoning the ODI format. He is the only Indian team captain, aside from MS Dhoni, to have guided the squad to two ICC championships: the Champions Trophy in 2025 and the T20 World Cup in 2024.
But in a month, the Indian opener will turn 38. The father of Indian cricketer Yuvraj, Yograj Singh, has disclosed what he would want Rohit to do if he were appointed coach of the Indian squad.
“I would use these same guys to turn the Indian team into a squad that will be unbeatable for a very long time if you hire me to coach them. Who is going to unleash their potential? Because you are constantly willing to remove them from the team—drop Kohli or Rohit Sharma, for example—but why? I want to let my kids know that I’m with them during this difficult time. I’ll let them know I adore them. No one does that. These athletes are gems. On Taruwar Kohli’s podcast, Yograj stated, “You don’t throw them out.”
I’ll suggest that we play the Ranji Trophy or Rohit Sharma Bhagenge 20 km roz, where Rohit runs 20 km every day.
“I’ll resemble their dad. Except for Dhoni, I have never made a distinction between Yuvraj and the others. However, he went on, “What is wrong is wrong.”
After 12 days of training with me, Arjun Tendulkar made his Ranji debut with a century: Yograj
The former Indian cricket player asserted that he prepared Arjun Tendulkar for his Ranji Trophy debut by training him. Arjun scored a century against Rajasthan in his first Ranji match with Goa, and Yograj recalled that he had only given the young player twelve days of training before his First Class debut.
“I would make Arjun Tendulkar the best batter in the world in six months if he approaches me right now. His potential with the bat is unknown. He spent 12 days with me and made his Ranj Trophy debut with a century. Was anyone aware? “I said.”
“Goa’s group was present. Yuvraj and Sachin advised me to mentor Arjun Tendulkar. He spent ten to twelve days with me here. He is such a fantastic batter, I thought, “kahan isko bowling mein laga rakkha hai?” You’re wasting him bowling, but why? He will be alright as a batting all-rounder,” Yograj continued.
