Rohit Sharma Records: Rohit Sharma is close to two big records as captain. Under the captaincy of Rohit, the Indian team won the Asia Cup 20.
Under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, Team India has performed amazingly so far in the Asia Cup 2023. The team registered its third consecutive win in the tournament on Tuesday and also made it to the finals. India defeated Nepal by 10 wickets in the first group round. Then registered victory over Pakistan and Sri Lanka in Super-4. The team will face Bangladesh in its last match of Super-4 on 15 September. After this, India will face Pakistan or Sri Lanka in the final to be held on 17th September. Talking about Rohit Sharma’s captaincy record, he has not lost a single match in the ODI Asia Cup so far and has also won a trophy. He can leave behind two big records of former Indian legendary captain MS Dhoni in the next 5 days.
Rohit Sharma has captained 9 matches so far in the ODI Asia Cup and has won 8. The result of one match did not come. During this period, the Indian team played matches against 5 countries Hong Kong, Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. That means even 5 countries together have not been able to defeat Rohit till now. If Team India is successful in winning the Asia Cup title after defeating Bangladesh on September 15, then Rohit will make 2 records in his name.
No captain has been able to win 10 matches.
ODI Asia Cup has been played since 1984 and 8 Indian players have captained till now, but no one has been able to win 10 matches as captain. In such a situation, if Rohit Sharma is successful in winning the next two matches of the tournament, then he will become the first Indian captain to win 10 matches in the ODI Asia Cup. Currently, this record is in the name of MS Dhoni. He has won a maximum of 9 matches as captain.

Mohammad Azharuddin has won a maximum of 2 titles in the ODI Asia Cup as the captain of India. Rohit can match him.
