Don't see any requirement to replace Virat Kohli with Rohit Sharma as captain, opines VVS Laxman

There are a lot of captaincy debates going on in Indian cricketing circle ever since Rohit Sharma led Mumbai Indians to their fifth title in IPL 2020 with Virat Kohli failing again to cross the line with Royal Challengers Bangalore yet again. However, former Indian batsman, VVS Laxman doesn't feel there is any requirement to change India's captaincy. Though he showered praises on Rohit Sharma, who he feels has done a great job with building up Mumbai Indians' side and leading them to five titles.

Laxman also feels that in many ways Rohit Sharma's start-stop Test career reminds him of his own career and asserted that Rohit knows how to put bowlers under the pump.

The Indian Test veteran is of the opinion that Rohit has enough talent to taste success in the longer format and has been hit by injuries. 

"But he has been bogged by injuries. He is talented enough to succeed as a Test match player. The first time I saw him was in 2005 in the KSCA tournament. He had a lot of time against the fast bowlers, but struggled against the spinners. A year later I saw him so improved and he was clearing the boundary with such ease at No. 6, changing the momentum of the game. I knew he had the ability to do something special. We struggle to get a double hundred in Test cricket and he has done it three times in One-day cricket."
