Former Team India fast bowler Atul Wassan has advocated for split captaincy as the way going forward to reduce the load on the cricketers. Meanwhile, Virat Kohli currently leads India across formats while Rohit Sharma and Ajinkya Rahane are the deputies in the limited-overs and Test respectively.

Apart from leading India in the three formats, Kohli also at the helm of the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League. Meanwhile, Rohit has led India on several times in the absence of Virat Kohli and has done exceedingly well. The Mumbai Indians skipper took India to glory in the Nidahas Trophy.

With the players opting for breaks in the wake of tight schedules, India have implemented a rotational policy for its cricketers. Many former cricketers have also advocated for split captaincy and the latest to join the bandwagon in Atul Wassan, who backed Rohit Sharma to lead India in T20Is.

In an interview with Sportkeeda, Wassan said, “Yes, I think India should think about split captaincy because it is too much load. Virat loves it, I think he wants to captain all three formats. But Rohit Sharma has shown us that he’s an instinctive leader.

“His record is good, he leads from the front. With Mumbai Indians, he did the same,” he added.

Rohit Sharma has enjoyed massive success with Mumbai in the IPL. He has led them to four titles – the most by any franchise. Furthermore, Atul Wassan backed Virat Kohli to lead the guns in the Test and ODI format.

“In Test cricket, Virat is the boss. In one day-cricket, Virat should be the captain, but in T20Is, take the stress out of Virat’s life, and let someone else lead the side like Rohit Sharma,” Wassan concluded.

Participants showed exceptional determination, emphasizing unity in diversity. Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.

Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.

 

The lunch featured esteemed guests including the Tourism Minister of Goa, MLA Rohan Khaunte of Porvorim, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phal Desai, and the State Commissioner for Persons with Disability in Goa, Guruprasad Pawaskar.
