Indian skipper Rohit Sharma is on the receiving end of harsh criticism and trolls following India’s embarrassing defeat against Bangladesh in the first of the three-match ODI series. Both teams played this match at the Sher-e-Bangla stadium in Mirpur. Indian team studded with the first team stars including the likes of regular skipper Rohit Sharma alongside senior batters like Virat Kohli and KL Rahul unexpectedly lost to the hosts by a margin of only one wicket.
Prior to that, the 35-year-old Indian skipper was also under fire for his approach and attitude at the international when team India was eliminated from the Asia Cup 2022 followed by 20-20 World Cup 2022.
Meanwhile, former Indian batting all-rounder Yuvraj Singh has come up with a stance that hasn’t gone down well with the fans of former Indian skippers, MS Dhoni and his immediate successor Virat Kohli.
Recently, an Indian sports media platform initiated a poll on Twitter to rate the captaincy of Rohit Sharma at the international level. Taking to the reply section of the tweet, the 2011 World Champion all-rounder went on to give full marks to the Mumbai batter for his role as captain of the Indian national team.
Here’s how Yuvraj Singh rated Rohit’s captaincy:
10 out of 10

Although, this stance of the 40-year-old irked the Dhoni and Virat fans. They immediately took to Twitter to lash out at Yuvraj Singh. Fans also accused Yuvi of being jealous that the Indian cricket Board preferred MS Dhoni over him.
Here's how fans lashed out at Yuvraj Singh:
Yuvraj hatred for virat is 10/10

And ability to soak pressure as Indian captain is completely zero

That’s why BCCI was not made you captain. Leadership is not everyone’s cup of tea.

That is the reason why instead of @YUVSTRONG12 captaincy handed over to Dhoni.

Then let's pray it doesn't dip to 9 out of 10. Ridiculous statement about someone who's team has lost consistently this year.

The player of the tournament of the 2011 ODI World Cup hung his boots from international cricket almost three years back in the year 2019 when India was playing the 2019 ODI World Cup under the captaincy of former skipper Virat Kohli.
Currently, Kohli is in action with the Indian team in the role of a batter during the ongoing ODI series against Bangladesh. He also ended up as the highest run-scorer in the recently concluded 20-20 World Cup 2022.
