In a conversation with journalist Vimal Kumar, the 38-year-old batter revealed that he once doubted whether he would ever lead the Men in Blue.
After stepping away from T20Is following India’s World Cup triumph last year, the 38-year-old will focus on captaining the national team in ODIs.
Rohit admitted that he initially feared he might not get the chance to lead the team. However, he expressed deep gratitude for the opportunity he received.
"Sometimes everyone wants a young captain—someone who can lead for 10 to 15 years. So I thought maybe I won’t get the opportunity. But I’m forever grateful that I did,” Rohit said.

No matter what, I have to bring out my full potential),” Rohit added.
