Mumbai: Former India star Yuvraj Singh has shared the dressing-room on many occasions with Rohit Sharma. With Rohit all set to lead the side at the T20 World Cup in less than a month, Yuvraj wished the India captain luck and claimed that he deserves to win it. Yuvraj also went on to admit that Rohit has not changed as a person over the years and that is a very good thing. Hailing Rohit as a great leader, Yuvraj also labelled him as one of his closest friends.

Yuvraj Singh said on ICC: “Rohit Sharma has never changed as a person even after the success he had, that is the beauty of Rohit Sharma. Fun loving, always having fun with the guys, A great leader in the park & one of my closest friends from cricket”.

“(Rohit’s presence is going to be) very crucial. I think we need a really good captain, a sensible captain who takes decisions well under pressure. And he’s the one to take them,” T20 World Cup 2024 ambassador Yuvraj said.

“He was the captain when we lost in the (Cricket World Cup) 50-over final (in 2023). He has won five IPL trophies as a captain. I think we need somebody like him to captain India, he added.

The bond between Yuvraj and Rohit traces back to the Mumbaikaar’s early days in the Indian setup. It’s widely known that Yuvraj was one of Rohit’s close friends within the team.

In fact, Yuvraj was part of the squad when Rohit made his debut for India. It was during the fall of Yuvraj’s wicket that the young Hitman stepped onto the international cricket scene to bat, making his first appearance against Ireland back in 2007.

Their connection came full circle in 2019 when Yuvraj’s final season as an active cricketer came under Rohit’s captaincy at the Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League. Following that tournament, Yuvraj announced his retirement from all forms of cricket in June 2019.
