The two Indian batsmen of today are Cheteswar Poojara& Rohit Sharma.
Both are equally good from the Technical point of view after the days of great Sachin Tendulkar
Sachin had an additional attraction that he was able to use the ball also as a recognized spinner.
In the technical side of cricket Poojara& Rohit are experts in choosing the balls & punishing the Bowlers just the way Sachin used to do .
Poojara is more useful for Test matches than Onedayers& T-20s
The next Captain after M.s. Dhoni when he quits( he could certainly continue for another 3 more years until next World Cup is over)
After he quits the best men suitable for Test cricket& ondayers(including the T-20) are respectively Cheteswar Poojara& Rohit Sharma.
Virat Kohli is a fine batsman.But does not appear to be matured enough to lead the Indian team.
He is much showy& interferes with the team mates every now & then even when the situation does not warrant it.
A real Captain should not be a cause of embarrassment & confusion for the Team mates.
Virat Kohli should remember this without showing his emotion every now & then.
He used to give too much instructions to the other players even when such instructions are not really necessary.
He should not frustrate teammates with instructions more than required.
Today's Captaincy by Rohit Sharma was brilliant.His decision to give ball to Harbhajan in the first over was
not a bad one though it backfired.
The NewZealand Team on various occasions started even test matches by handing over New balls to Spinners& was successful also.
So no point in blaming Rohit Sharma.in fact what he did was a good gesture to hand over the ball to a veteran Spinner Harbhajan.
Finally it was Harbhajan who helped him to come out in Flying Colors after his exit at the crucial juncture.
So one really good Captain should take things as it comes as good.what is good for one might be bad for others.
This does not matter at all so long as one is capable of maintaining his own confidence.and Rohit Sharma is indeed
one such Captain.

All the decisions which q cqptain takes need not the most apt ones. Rohit is a good cricketing brain and a technically perfect batsman.
