Most wins by Indian captains in ODI Asia Cup: Team India has a major boost ahead of the 2023 ODI World Cup. There are now just over 15 days left for the World Cup to begin as the Indian team is in high spirits after winning the Asia Cup title. Rohit Sharma won the first major tournament after becoming a full-time captain. By winning the Asia Cup, Rohit Sharma has now caught up with not only SS Dhoni but also former captain Mohammad Azharuddin. Let’s take a look at what new achievements Rohit Sharma has achieved after winning the title.
Rohit Sharma has now won a total of nine games in the Asia Cup.
Rohit Sharma has captained a total of 10 matches in the history of the Asia Cup. In 2018, he captained in five games. Although Virat Kohli was the captain at the time, Kohli was rested in the Asia Cup and the captaincy was handed over to Rohit. The victory caravan that started from the first game reached the final and India stopped only after winning the title by defeating Bangladesh in the final. This time Rohit Sharma also played six matches including the final. He won four of them. The first game of the league phase against Pakistan could not be completed due to rain and therefore ended in a draw. Even in the last Super 4 game against Bangladesh before winning the final, the Indian team did a lot of experiments, almost half of the team was replaced, the Indian team lost.
Before Rohit Sharma, MS Dhoni and Azharuddin won two Asia Cup titles.
Rohit Sharma has won a total of nine games in the history of the Asia Cup so far. If we talk about MS Dhoni, he also played nine matches in the ODI Asia Cup. Furthermore, Rohit Sharma has equaled MS Dhoni and Mohammad Azharuddin in terms of winning the most Asian Cups for India. MS Dhoni had won the Asia Cup title in 2010 and then in 2016. The Asia Cup was played in ODI format in 2010 and in T20 format in 2016. If we talk about Mohammad Azharuddin, he had won the Asia Cup title in 1990 and 1995. Both tournaments were played in ODI format. This means there are now three captains for India who have won the Asia Cup twice.
The Indian team’s spirits are high ahead of the World Cup
Rohit Sharma and Team India are in high spirits after winning the Asia Cup trophy. We have had one hero after another throughout the Asian Cup. The best and biggest thing is that all the players are performing well. Also, no major player is hurt or injured.
