Rohit Sharma has captained India in 20 T20 international matches in which he won 16.
The percentage of Rohit Sharma in T20 international is 80%. Sharma has only lost one series in his captaincy career, which is against New Zealand back in 2019. In 2021, Sharma must be looking forward to cleaning sweep New Zealand as the revenge of 2019. Rohit Sharma also won Nidhas Trophy in 2019. Not only in T20 internationals but in ODI also Rohit Sharma captain the Indian side 10 times.
Eight times India was born under Sharma captaincy. If Mahendra Singh Dhoni is a Picasso of ODI captaincy, Virat Kohli is a master of test captaincy then surely Rohit is an artist of T20 captaincy.
