During an interview given on Friday, Vaughan said something that became an instant controversy.

The former England captain said he would prefer to play under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. Vaughan reckons Sharma is a better leader than Virat Kohli.

“I could see myself next to Rohit’: Michael Vaughan.

“Rohit Sharma. Mumbai Indians, the best T20 team in the world without any question. He is a magnificent leader. He is calm and composed. His strategies are very clever and I could see myself next to Rohit”, said Michael Vaughan.

It’s extremely harsh on Virat Kohli. No doubt Rohit has done wonders with MI, but Ambanis have given him a platform to shine, piecing together a world-class group of players. While RCB has lacked quality in one area or another. Virat shouldn’t be judged on his IPL record alone. Team India has touched good heights under his leadership, while his own record as captain speaks volume.
