Former India player turned commentator Irfan Pathan said that it will be difficult for captain Suryakumar Yadav to match and continue the legacy set by Rohit Sharma as well. Team India won two trophies under Rohit as well.

“The biggest question is can Suryakumar Yadav carry the legacy set by Rohit Sharma? It is difficult to carry forward the legacy created by Rohit Sharma. The good thing is that he is back in form. How the captain approaches the World Cup is very important, everything depends on that. We got to see Suryakumar Yadav play as he used to before, that old approach and the same approach,” Irfan Pathan said on his YouTube channel.

“Whether it be 1983, 2007, 2011, 2013, or 2024, in all of the ICC trophies that India have won, the captain’s role and leadership, the way they inspire the players, that has been very important,” he further added.

However, Team India have won ICC trophies under the likes of Kapil Dev, MS Dhoni, and Rohit Sharma, as Suryakumar Yadav looks to join them to mark his reign as captain as well.
