Rohit has the support of the former Australian pacer

Former Australia fast bowler Brett Lee believes that Rohit Sharma, who has been appointed as India's captain for the Asia Cup, will get the best out of himself and the team. Lee also added that in the absence of Kohli, Dhawan and Rohit will be key to India's chances of retaining the Asia Cup in the UAE.

“Two key batsmen for India in the Asia Cup — Shikhar Dhawan and secondly Rohit Sharma. I believe Rohit will get the best out of himself and also the team because he has been given that extra bit of responsibility to lead the Indian side,” said Brett Lee.

“With Virat Kohli not playing, Rohit and Dhawan will be the two key men with the bat for India. There is a lot of talk about how Rohit can’t face left arm fast bowlers - with the swing and the ball going across him but, I don’t necessarily agree with that, but what I can say is that in the UAE it will be a different style he will have to face. Yes, they will bring on the left-arm fast bowlers to target Rohit, but I believe on the lower and slower wickets in UAE, Rohit will dominate. I believe the wicket will help him out,” he added.
