'Rohit Sharma never jumps like Virat Kohli. Some players play for themselves but not him': Kapil Dev

Kapil Dev lauds Rohit Sharma

According to Kapil Dev, Rohit Sharma doesn't emulate Virat Kohli's on-field intensity. He doesn't rely on outward displays of aggression, but rather focuses on his own strengths and limitations as a captain. 

"He doesn't play like Virat, doesn't jump around, but he knows his limitations. And within those limitations, no one is better than him. Many great players come along, they come for themselves and do captaincy for themselves. So Rohit has got one extra tick marked over others because he keeps the entire team happy," Kapil Dev said.

The stage is set for a thrilling T20 World Cup 2024 semi-final clash as Team India prepares to face defending champions England on Thursday, June 27, in Guyana.
