Rohit Sharma led India to a historic victory in the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy, emulating former captain MS Dhoni’s achievement of securing this prestigious title. This triumph also elevates Sharma above former Indian captains Kapil Dev and Sourav Ganguly in terms of ICC tournament successes.
Under Dhoni’s leadership, India clinched the Champions Trophy in 2013, adding to his accolades, which include the 2007 ICC World Twenty20 and the 2011 Cricket World Cup. Sharma’s recent victory mirrors Dhoni’s feat by securing the Champions Trophy. Sharma had previously led India to mlu in the 2024 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, further cementing his legacy.
Kapil Dev, renowned for captaining India to their first World Cup win in 1983, and Sourav Ganguly, who led India to a shared Champions Trophy title in 2002, have each secured one major ICC trophy as captains. Sharma’s dual ICC tournament victories surpass their records, underscoring his significant impact on Indian cricket.
This Champions Trophy win also marks a personal milestone for Sharma, as it represents his 100th victory as captain of the Indian team, highlighting his leadership and consistency.
In achieving these milestones, Sharma has not only emulated Dhoni’s accomplishments but has also carved out his distinguished path in the annals of Indian cricket history.
