Weighing in on the much-debated topic of work-life balance and putting in more working hours as suggested by some corporate leaders in the recent past, Mahindra Group Chairman Anand Mahindra said he believed in the quality of work and not the quantity. Addressing the Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue 2025 here in the national capital, Anand Mahindra, said that the ongoing debate was wrong because it emphasises on quantity of working hours. "I have huge respect for Narayana Murthy (founder of Infosys) and others. So let me not get this wrong, of course. But I have to say something, I think this debate is in the wrong direction," Anand Mahindra told the youth. "My point is we have to focus on the quality of work, not on the quantity of work. So it's not about 48, 40 hours, it's not about 70 hours, it's not about 90 hours," Anand Mahindra said. He said that it depends on the output of the work. "What output are you doing even if it's 10 hour...
Veteran wicketkeeper-batter Kamran Akmal said that he is against the policy of three captains in different formats. While making his point, Akmal took a sly dig at India skipper Rohit Sharma, saying that the all-format captaincy has already taken its toll on the star batter. To back his claim, Kamran pointed out an incident from the recently-concluded ODI series between India and New Zealand. Incidentally, during the toss of the 2nd ODI between the two side, Rohit had a brain-freezing moment as he forgot what to do after winnings the toss.
Akmal also lauded Virat Kohli for efficiently leading the Indian team for five years, across formats.
"You can have two captains, for sure. You can manage workload that way. It's not easy to captain in all three formats. Virat Kohli ki himmat hai vo 5 saal nikaal gaya, Rohit Sharma ko ek saal nahi hua aur uski haalat dekh lo kya ho gayi. Toss me bataana bhool gaya ki batting karni hai ya bowling (Virat was brave that he led the team for five years across formats. Rohit hasn't even completed a year, and you look at his condition. He even forgot at the toss if he wants to bat or bowl)," Akmal said on Salman Butt's YouTube channel.
"I don't support three captains for three different formats. You can have two captains. Also, there's no time to change a captain now, because you have a World Cup coming up. You could've made the change after the T20 World Cup last year, because the new captain would've had some experience by then," he added.
Rohit's captaincy was under the scanner last year after the Indian team failed to reach the final of the Asia Cup, as well as the T20 World Cup.
On Tuesday, Rohit ended his century drought as India defeated New Zealand to sweep the series.
