Despite naming Dhoni as his preferred captain, Shami expressed admiration for star batter Virat Kohli, acknowledging Kohli’s exceptional batting prowess and record-breaking achievements on the field. Additionally, Shami showered praise on current India skipper Rohit Sharma, labeling him as the most ‘dangerous batter’ globally, a testament to Rohit’s unmatched skill and presence in the cricketing arena.
