In the last two decades, Indian men’s cricket team has seen three brilliant captains take charge. They are MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Dhoni is considered arguably the greatest ODI captain the country has ever seen as he won India as many as three ICC trophies: ICC T20 World Cup 2007, ICC ODI World Cup 2011, ICC Champions Trophy 2013.
At the same time, Virat Kohli made India a strong Test side, winning series abroad and taking India to number 1 in rankings and also to the first final of the World Test Championship (WTC).
Under Rohit, India made it to the second successive ICC WTC final in 2023 and won the prestigious Border-Gavaskar Trophy at home in 2023 too. In 2024, Rohit etched his name in the record books as India won the T20 World Cup in Barbados.
Dhoni vs Kohli vs Rohit? Who has better stats
Virat Kohli has captained India in 213 matches, Dhoni in 332, while Rohit is still leading India’s Test and ODI sides. Kohli’s overall win rate is 63 as compared to Dhoni’s 53. Speaking about Rohit Sharma’s captaincy record, he has captained in 126 matches across formats and won 93 matches. As a result, Rohit Sharma has a winning percentage of 73.80, which is higher as compared to Dhoni or Kohli.
