Rohit Sharma praised for leadership during IPL 2022

A former Mumbai Indians cricketer shared his thoughts on Rohit Sharma's leadership style, calling him a "true leader." Ramandeep Singh, now with Kolkata Knight Riders, talked about his experiences playing under Rohit during the 2022 IPL season. He praised Rohit's ability to inspire confidence in his players. Ramandeep recalled a particular moment when he bowled against MS Dhoni while playing for Mumbai Indians. Rohit had encouraged him before the match, saying, "I want MS Dhoni to smash you." This was during a game where the Chennai Super Kings were struggling, and Rohit wanted Ramandeep to take risks. In that match, Ramandeep only bowled one over, and Dhoni managed to score 36 runs while CSK finished with 97 runs. Mumbai Indians won the match, recovering from an earlier loss to CSK. Ramandeep's story highlights the support he received from Rohit, which helped him build confidence on the field. In the 2025 IPL season opener, Ramandeep played but didn't have a significant impact. He ended up with just six runs, and Kolkata's chase fell short against the Royal Challengers. Despite the pressure, Ramandeep continues to learn and grow as a player in the IPL.
