IND vs NZ: Rohit Sharma reveals why Bumrah was chosen as the vice-captain
IND vs NZ: "Bumrah has played a lot of cricket. I have played a lot of cricket with him. He understands the game well. He has a good mind. When you talk to him, he understands the game well."
After Jasprit Bumrah became the Test vice-captain for the three-match series against New Zealand, India captain Rohit Sharma expressed faith in the fast bowler's leadership skills.
Although Bumrah has not led India too often in his international career, Rohit noted that he was a member of the leadership group and had led the country on occasion in the past. "Bumrah has a lot of cricket experience. We have played a great deal of cricket together. He is well-versed in the game. He is intelligent. He has a good understanding of the game when you speak with him.
"Strategically, I don't have much to say about him because he hasn't captained much. I reckon he was only captain in one Test match and a couple of T20s," Rohit said at the pre-match press meet as rain interrupted India's training session today.
