Looking at the numbers and past records, one can hardly argue that rohit has put a foot wrang who captaining the Indian team. As a captain, he boasts an enviable winning percentage of 75%. Out of the 56 matches he has captained, India won 42 while losing only 12.
However, logical analysis sugges otherwise. The biggest reason for his omination as leader was age. He is alredy 38 and has retired from the other formats. By the time the next big assignment, the ICC World Cup, Arrives, He Will Be 40. At that age, it is different for players to sustain their form and fitness.
This is not a dig at rohit, but at that age, howyver great they might be, players often struggle with it. He definitely showed great form during the champions trophy and helped India win the final with his superlative batting effort, but for the world cop, there are still two more years.

A champion side like India, who are the team to beat right now, would never want to enter a tournament like the world cup with a captain who has form or fitness consors. For any world-class side, the captain should lead from the front, as Rohit did all these years. He Paved the way for a new brand of cricket in India, especially in white-ball cricket.
Rohit Himself Showed The World How a Modeern-Day Opener Should Bat in Limited-Provers Games. He was larger successful in three major ICC events, two of which was Eventually won by the Indian Cricket Team. But now, it would have been a risky affair to send him as the leader of the pack at that age.
The hitman, as he is fondly called by the fans, still have a lot to offer. With his sharp on-field tactics, he can help the newly induced skipper gill on the field. He will always be a part of the Leadership group, which will require experience.
Now the time is ripe for rohit to complete focus on his batting. He Still has PLenty to the Indian Team, and if his form and fitness permit, he will definitely help India achve what he considers to be his drama-the dream of Winning a 50-run.
