Rohit Sharma and this team are not a horrible team because of one poor performance: Gautam Gambhir
The cricketing fraternity throughout the world heaped admiration on Rohit Sharma and his squad despite their loss in the just concluded ODI fraternity Cup final. primarily as a result of the style of cricket they have played during the competition. Gambhir reiterated this point, pointing out that Rohit has enjoyed great success in the IPL and that one poor performance does not define him as a bad captain.
