Delhi: Talking about Rohit Sharma, today anyone will call this hitman one of the greatest white ball captain ever. Are they the best? This question has made India’s Champions Trophy 2025 wins and the total 5th ICC ODI tournament winning the track record as Rohit Sharma’s captain. Let’s see the 5 biggest reason for such thinking:
5. Comparison with other big captain of limited over cricket
There will be a direct comparison with captains like Ricky Ponting, MS Dhoni. If every captain’s win percentage in a team’s ICC white ball tournament, the record proves Rohit Sharma the greatest captain. In this comparison, I saw Rohit, Virat, Dhoni and Ponting’s ICC Cricket World Cup, Champions Trophy and T20 World Cup record and Clive Lloyd’s Prudential Cup records. Under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, India lost only one match in the ICC ODI tournament. Cricket World Cup record: 10 wins in 11 matches and 90.90 percent success. Score 5/5 in Champions Trophy i.e. 100 percent win. Record in ICC T20 World Cup: 12 wins in 14 matches, 2 defeats and winning percentage are 85.71. A total of 30 matches in 30 matches and winning are 90 percent. Two ICC Trophy win within 9 months.
4. Rohit Sharma New Captain Cool
Till now this title was for Dhoni. The Champions Trophy won, but the return that New Zealand made up of better fielding created panic. Rohit Sharma was still cool. Using the talent of his spinners properly, New Zealand stopped for 251 runs and then scored fast for India. The most special thing: Even though he did not tie themselves in batting on the cool and did not stop the team from playing cricket.
3. Team White Ball Cricket Record
After winning the T20 World Cup by defeating South Africa, India proved in the Champions Trophy that it was not wrong to play in the 50 over World Cup final in late 2023. Lost only one match in the last 3 ICC White Ball tournament, which is an incredible record. Win in 23 out of 24 matches. Such more best records:
Australia : 28 won in 30 matches, 2 necklaces (2003 World Cup to 2007 World Cup)
West Indies: 15 wins in 17 matches, 2 defeats (from 1975 to 1983 World Cup)
2. Play as an example themselves
This does not answer the inspiration that the rest of the players get. The Champions Trophy put India ahead with a brilliant innings of 76 runs in the final itself. He is also named with captain Clive Lloyd, Ricky Ponting and MS Dhoni, who won the man of the match in the final of the Limited Over ICC tournament.
1. Counting of won title
Won the fourth big title as captain with the Champions Trophy and equivalent to Imran Khan, MS Dhoni and Ricky Ponting in this context. They have also won 4 big tournaments as captains of at least 5 team tournaments. Truly, in this context, comparison should be only with Ponting as the Australian-Asia Cup will not get much votes to consider a big tournament. These entire tournaments were played only at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. The biggest win under Rohit Sharma’s captaincy:
- Nidahas Trophy 2018 (Stand-in Captain)
- Asia Cup 2018 (Stand-in Captain)
- Asia Cup 2023 (Captain)
- ICC T20 World Cup 2024 (captain)
- ICC Champions Trophy 2025
Together: 2023 ODI World Cup final, 2022 T20 World Cup semi -finals.
