In a conversation with India News, Reetinder Sodhi reviewed Rohit Sharma's captaincy in the Mohali Test and said:
"You will have to praise Rohit Sharma a lot, he did splendid captaincy. It was his first Test match, a few nerves are there but that was not seen in Rohit Sharma. I think he is made for captaincy."
He added:
"He has played so much cricket, the captaincy was knocking on his doors and now he is the captain in all three formats. He won India the match in three days. He will be very happy, the XI he played was perfect and his field placements and bowling changes were amazing. Rohit Sharma's confidence was clearly visible."
