Rohit Sharma and Mahendra Singh Dhoni
Captain Rohit Sharma: A series of three T20 matches will be played between India and Afghanistan. This is Team India's last T20 International series before the T20 World Cup 2024. Therefore, this series is very important for preparation. The Indian team has already been announced. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have returned to Team India. The responsibility of captaincy was handed over to Rohit. At the same time, most of the young players in the team who performed well at the Asian Games have a chance. Rohit can become India's best T20 captain in this series. He is three steps away from that.
Can support Dhoni
Mahendra Singh Dhoni is the Indian captain who has won the most matches in T20 International. He has won 41 T20 matches as captain for Team India. Rohit Sharma is at the second spot in the captaincy list with 39 wins. Now, if Team India wins the series against Afghanistan 3-0, then Rohit will win 42 T20 matches as captain, making him the most successful T20I captain for India. He can reach this position and leave the legendary Dhoni behind. If Team India manages to win two matches of the T20 series against Afghanistan, then he will be at par with Dhoni.
Indian captains who have won the most matches in T20Is:
- Mahendra Singh Dhoni – 41 games
- Rohit Sharma – 39 games
- Virat Kohli – 30 games
- Hardik Pandya – 10 games
Rohit was captain in so many games
Rohit Sharma took over the captaincy of the T20 team after Virat Kohli quit the captaincy in the 2021 T20 World Cup. So far, he has captained India in 51 T20 matches, of which Team India has won 39 and lost 12. He is India's second most successful T20 captain. Under his captaincy, Team India reached the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup 2022, but there the Indian team suffered a defeat against England by 10 wickets.
