Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma has been making waves in the T20 International format, both as a leader and a batsman. After India’s recent T20 World Cup victory over Australia, he has equalled Pakistan captain Babar Azam’s record for the most wins as a captain in this format. In addition, Sharma has now surpassed his teammate Virat Kohli to become the leading run-scorer in T20Is.

With 48 wins as captain, Rohit Sharma is tied with Babar Azam for the most victories in the T20I format. His leadership was instrumental in India’s recent win over Australia, where he displayed his skills both on and off the field. Sharma’s 92 runs off 41 balls played a key role in setting a challenging target for Australia, ultimately leading India to victory by 24 runs.

In terms of individual performance, Sharma has amassed 4,165 runs in 157 matches, boasting an average of 32.03 and a strike rate of 140.75. His recent form has drawn praise from all corners, with BCCI Secretary Jay Shah commending Sharma’s performance and expressing confidence in India’s prospects in the tournament.

Following the win against Australia, India has secured a spot in the semi-finals, where they will face England in Guyana. With Sharma’s captaincy and batting prowess at the forefront, India is well-positioned to continue their success in the T20 World Cup.
