After leading India to a convincing 40-run victory over Hong Kong in the Asia Cup here on Wednesday, Rohit Sharma has surpassed Virat Kohli as the country’s second-most successful T20 captain.
India beat Hong Kong by 40 runs in the Twenty20 Asia Cup 2022 Group A match on August 31 in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), qualifying for the Super Four stage of the event.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni, India’s former captain, is still at the top of the list after leading his country to victories in 41 of 72 T20I matches.
KL Rahul’s struggle came to an end at 36 off 39 balls at 94/2 in 13 overs, and Suryakumar came in and immediately altered the tone of India’s innings. He stayed unbeaten on 68 off 26 balls, hitting six fours and as many sixes, in addition to his audacious wrist play and other devastating drives, slashes, scoops, and sweeps that sent the ball flying all over the park. At a strike rate of 261.53, he scored 68 runs, 60 of which were off boundaries.
In his 37th outing, Rohit Sharma secured his 31st victory as the T20 team’s captain against Hong Kong on Wednesday. He beat previous Indian captain Virat Kohli, who won 30 T20 matches out of 50 for his country.
The record for India’s most T20I victories belongs to former captain MS Dhoni. Out of 72 T20 games, India won 41 of them while Dhoni served as captain.
