Rohit Sharma as Mumbai Indians Captain in IPL 2021
Rohit Sharma is the captain of Mumbai Indians in IPL 2021, the most successful IPL captain who won his team four times the IPL trophy, will MI can ever get captain like Rohit Sharma in the future? He is the best when it comes to captaining in T20 cricket and the MI team will always want to choose their captain as Rohit Sharma.
Rohit Sharma Performance as MI Captain:
Winning IPL title is hard for any team and winning IPL title four times is unbelievable and Mumbai Indians have done this wonder in only Rohit Sharma’s captaincy.
Rohit Sharma captained Mumbai Indians for 7 IPL seasons from the year 2013 to 2019 and 7 out of 4 seasons he won for his team that shows his incredible performance Mumbai Indians captain.
Last IPL 2020 season 13 winner was also Mumbai Indians and this season Rohit Sharma again ready for winning IPL 2021 trophy.
Virat Kohli as RCB Captain in IPL 2021
Virat Kohli is the captain of RCB in IPL 2021. RCB has trust on their captain and Virat Kohli will again lead RCB in IPL Season 14.
Virat Kohli Performance as RCB Captain:
RCB’s performance in last IPL season is very disappointing, in the last season they didn’t even make their way in playoffs and everyone talk about Virat Kohli’s captaincy after it.
Virat has captained RCB in 8 IPL seasons from the year 2013 to 2020. RCB came in final of IPL only once in IPL 2016 in which match they lost by 8 runs against SRH.
But what I say is its not his captaincy that RCB showing poor performance in Indian Premier League, as you can see Virat Kohli is also leading Indian International cricket team and in recent times he has won big series for team India and now he became one of successful Indian team captain.
Not only your captain but It’s also your team and all coaches, who make you win a match and whole tournament, alone captain can’t win you the tournament. A captain can only guide his team in the right direction.
I think it’s all about the RCB team combination in which they are lack somewhere, they need to focus on this in IPL 2021. There is no doubt about Virat’s captaincy.
Sanju Samson as RR Captain in IPL 2021
Rajasthan Royals team has released Steven Smith from their squad and they announced their new captain as Sanju Samson. Samson is part of RR team from very long time and now he will lead the team as well.

David Warner Performance as SRH Captain:
David Warner has captained Sunrisers Hyderabad team for 4 IPL seasons in the year 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2020.
SRH won the IPL 2016 season in the captaincy of David Warner.
KL Rahul as PBKS Captain in IPL 2021
The team changes their name to Kings XI Punjab to Punjab Kings (PBKS) but they didn’t change their captain. So in IPL 2021 KL Rahul will again lead the PBKS team.
