"For me, he (Rohit) has always given me the freedom, he has always told me to express yourself (myself), be whatever you want, be it any situation, take ownership of your own bowling, so that gives me a lot of confidence and a responsibility that I'm responsible for whatever I'm doing," Bumrah said, reports PTI.

"So, that's a big thing for a captain because then he gives a bowler so much of confidence. He trusts you so much and he trusts the decisions that you will take and that's a very positive sign," added Bumrah.

As far as Rohit's captaincy is concerned, it garnered praise from fellow MI batsman Suryakumar Yadav, who said that the former is generally calm-minded, even under pressure situations. "He is always open to take suggestions on the ground. I have seen him a lot of times when there is a crunch situation, or when he is put under pressure, that time he is very calm, cool and composed. He takes tough decisions during that time," Suryakumar said in a Twitter video for MI.

"You have this very relaxed, cool-looking guy. His mannerism when he bats, he's got that elegance, which you can call it lazy elegance. But, he is very intense and hard-core, when it comes to thinking about the game. He, actually, channelises his energy very well. He's very good with controlling the emotions of the pressure situation, he likes to take that pressure on himself," Zaheer said.

Rohit's this calmness in captaincy is certain to remind fans of MS Dhoni, who is popularly known as 'Captain Cool'. Be it for India or Chennai Super Kings (CSK), it is this calmness of Dhoni that has led him to a number of titles, as Rohit seems to be following the former's footsteps.
