Former India cricketer believes winning Asia Cup and World Cup will make Rohit Sharma one of India's greatest skippers

Team India captain Rohit Sharma will have a legacy on the contention, especially with two major events coming up this year Asia Cup 2023 and ODI World Cup 2023. India has never won a major trophy since 2013, but over the last decade, the Men in Blue has seen changes in the leadership role being appointed.

Virat Kohli took Indian cricket to new heights under his captaincy but failed to win any major event. India's former captain, Sunil Gavaskar was asked about Rohit's legacy as a skipper, he said the 'Hitman' would be judged by the number of trophies he would win.

You are judged by the number of trophies you have won: Sunil Gavaskar

Gavaskar stated, "At the end of the day you are judged by the number of trophies you have won, the numbers of wins you have. Winning these two tournaments will make him one of India's greatest skippers." He also shared his opinion on the Indian team's preparation for the World Cup too.

Gavaskar feels it isthe lack of all-rounders that remains a pain point. He further stated "More than anything else, luck of the day is very important and if you look at the teams (in 1983, 1985 and 2011), they all had top class all-rounders. You had batters who could bowl 7-8-9 overs and bowlers who could bat down the order. That was the biggest plus of those teams. You see MSD's team also: Suresh Raina, Yuvraj Singh, Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag could all bowl. It was the biggest plus. So, any team which has all-rounders (will hold the edge). "You look at England who won last year's T20 World Cup, look at the all-rounders they had. So, all-rounders are the key element."

The 74-year-old lastly said, "We have got immense talent, (but) in the knockout stage you need a little bit of luck on the day. If you look at our situation in the knockout stages where we have lost, we had ill-luck just about every time."
