After back-to-back heartbreaks in the last three ICC events, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma finally had the winning laugh after he led India to their second T20 World Cup after 17 years defeating South Africa in the final at Kensington Oval in Barbados on 29th June. Rohit had an impressive record while captaining India in international cricket, but wasn’t able to win a major international trophy for India till now.
Under his captaincy, India reached the semi-final of the 2022 T20 World Cup, the 2023 World Test Championship final, and the final of the 2023 ODI World Cup but ended up standing on the other side on all three occasions. But this time, India finally cleared the finishing line making Rohit a World Cup-winning captain.
