Rohit Sharma won the Champions Trophy title on March 9 at the Dubai International Stadium, cementing his place as one of the most successful captains in Indian cricket, alongside MS Dhoni. After Dhoni retired from international cricket, Rohit carried forward his legacy, leading India to victories in the T20 World Cup, Champions Trophy, Asia Cup, and several other titles. In the Indian Premier League (IPL), both Dhoni and Rohit have achieved remarkable success, each winning five titles as captain for their respective teams.
MS Dhoni vs Rohit Sharma
Rohit Sharma missed out on winning the ODI World Cup, despite leading India to the final, where they suffered a defeat to Australia on home soil. Had he won the title, he might have been placed in the same league as MS Dhoni. However, Rohit has secured a T20 World Cup, just like Dhoni. In the IPL, both have an equal number of titles, with five trophies each. Dhoni has a total of 12 titles, including ICC trophies, league titles, and the Asia Cup, while Rohit has 10, missing only the ODI World Cup. Neither has won the World Test Championship; Dhoni never had the opportunity as the tournament was introduced later, while India reached two finals under different leaderships but failed to win.
