The spinner is happy that the batsman has taken over the reigns from Ponting.
Mumbai Indians spin bowler Pragyan Ojha thinks that the decision for Rohit Sharma to replace Ricky Ponting as captain was the right one for the IPL franchise.
Ponting was named skipper at the start of the season but the Australian decided to drop himself after failing to perform.
At 26 Sharma is relatively young to be leading the side, especially when they boast the experience of both Ponting and Sachin Tendulkar, yet Ojha believes the batsman brings calm to the team.
