‘Minnows ke khilaf jit ke ban gaya successful’ – Fans reacts Rohit Sharma turns out to be most successful captain of India in terms of winning percentage
Even after losing the World Test Championship final recently against Australia, Rohit Sharma turned out to be the most successful captain of the India Cricket team in terms of winning percentage. The 36-year-old had captained India in 83 matches across all formats and has won 62 matches with a win percentage of 74.69%.
After Rohit, former skipper Virat Kohli has the second-highest percentage as India won 135 out of 213 matches under his captaincy with a win percentage of 63.38%, while MS Dhoni comes third in the list as he won 178 out of 332 matches as the Indian skipper with a win percentage of 53.61.
Rohit Sharma to talk to management regarding his future as Test Captain
However, according to the latest reports, Rohit may have a talk with the Indian Cricket Board about his future as the Test skipper after India lost the WTC final on Sunday. However, there is no imminent threat for as the skipper in their longest format but due to his poor form, he might need to rake up some significant numbers in the upcoming tour to West Indies, where India is scheduled to play two Tests, three ODIs, and five T20Is.
“These are baseless stuff that Rohit will be removed from captaincy. Yes, whether he will last the whole two-year WTC cycle is a big question as he would be nearly 38 when the third edition ends in 2025. As of now, I believe that Shiv Sunder Das and his colleagues will have to take a call after the two Tests and looking at his batting form,” a senior Indian Cricket Board source said as quoted in India Today.
“After West Indies, we have no Tests till December-end when the team travels to South Africa. So there is enough time for selectors to deliberate and take a decision. By then the fifth selector (new chairman) will also join the panel and a decision can be taken, he further added.
No of matches 🌚

Winning Bilateral Series? Where's the Championship?— RikuUnited (@Riku72187100) June 14, 2023
By this logic Dhoni was worst than Virat and Rohit that too in ICT captaincy 🤣😭 winning 3 ICC trophy is worst according to this PR page

Good stat but Indian cricket needs to think of next transition phase.. starting 2024, let the senior players play like normal players and give their inputs to new captain or else it’ll be a longer transition period by next WTC final

By this logic, Hardik Pandya is the most successful captain in IPL 😭 . R0hit is not even in Top 5 pic.twitter.com/LiqSCAKHGs

Don't just see 50 matches, if you see like that even @ImRaina would have achieved more than 80%. Don't ever compare like that, it doesn't looks good to your Twitter name @weRcricket . Series matches can win by captains like hardik or Ashwin. best means making the team no.1.
