Under Virat's captaincy that week, India wouldn't have lost the game," Vaughan said on YouTube channel <em>Club Prairie Fire</em>.</p>.<p>Vaughan was critical of Rohit's leadership during the game.</p>.<p>"Rohit is a legend and a great player. But I felt he just switched off completely." Vaughan had also slammed Rohit for not being proactive during the series-opener last week.</p>.<p>"I thought Rohit Sharma's captaincy was very, very average. I thought he was so reactive; I don't think he maneuvered his field or was proactive with his bowling changes."</p>.<p>"And he didn't have any answer to Ollie Pope’s sweeps or reverse sweeps," Vaughan had written in his column for <em>The Telegraph</em>.</p>.<p>Kohli had stepped down as captain after India's tour of South Africa in 2022 after a fairly good run during which the team attained the world no.1 ICC ranking.</p>
