If Rohit Sharma helps India clinch the Asia Cup today, it could well spark a debate on split captaincy between him and Virat Kohli. Whenever Rohit has been handed the reins of the team in the absence of Kohli, he has done exceedingly well, be it in T20Is or ODIs. His record as the Mumbai Indians captain in the Indian Premier League speaks for itself, winning the trophy on three occasions.

The way Rohit has handled the Indian team as stand-in captain in the ongoing Asia Cup has impressed all. He has remained calm and composed in pressure situations and has not allowed the extra burden to affect his batting. In fact, he has become even more consistent as has been witnessed in the four matches in the Asia Cup so far, scoring 269 runs in four innings that included an unbeaten century v Pakistan on Sunday.
