India coach Ravi Shastri is mighty impressed by skipper Rohit Sharma's "calming influence" which reflected in his leadership during India's triumphant Asia Cup campaign. In the absence of regular captain Virat Kohli, Rohit was like a breath of fresh air for Team India which now has a second line of leadership ready in white-ball cricket.

"Rohit was a calming influence and it showed in his captaincy. To keep his intensity going even after the start they [Bangladesh] had, showed he was really cool in every aspect of captaincy," Shastri said after India retained the Asia Cup title on Friday night. "The bowling changes he made were really good. To concede just around 100 runs in the last 30 overs, I thought was brilliant," he added.
