New Delhi: Removing Rohit Sharma as India's T20 captain remains to be one of the biggest talking points ever since the Men in Blue suffered a humiliating 10-wicket loss against England in WC semi-final. Senior opener Rohit Sharma is under the scanner for his poor run with the bat and for his average captaincy during the tournament. Rohit, who was captaining the national team for the first time ever in a World Cup, has been at the receiving end of angry fans and experts for poor selection calls and unimpressive leadership skills.

Ex-India cricketer Atul Wassan believes "Rohit Sharma did not take a single call and only decided where to hide on the field."

"We could see two level of cricketers. At least something should have happened. You can't even find a fault. I feel that you can't blame the captaincy. Afterall, it was the team management that was taking all decisions. Rohit Sharma did not take a single call. He only decided where to hide on the field," former Indian cricketer Atul Wassan told ABP News.

Wassan opined India should either make Hardik Pandya or Rishabh Pant new India captain in the shortest format.

"Yes, I feel so (Rohit's stint as India's T20 captain is over). You always plan between two World Cups and I don't think Indian cricket will gain anything by retaining him as captain. We won't get any return for such an investment. You have two options in front of you - Hardik Pandya and Rishabh Pant. I am still besides myself, can't believe what happened. I felt as if India batted in Adelaide and England in Sharjah," Wassan added.
