Rohit Sharma Test Captaincy Records: Rohit Sharma has won 10 Tests so far as a Test captain. He is very close to leaving behind former Indian team captain Mohammad Azharuddin.
After retiring from T20 International, Rohit Sharma's full focus is now on ODI and Test cricket. At present, the Indian team is not playing any matches, but this rest is going to end soon. Next month i.e. in September, the Bangladesh team is going to tour India. During this, two test matches will be played, which will start on September 19. That means Rohit Sharma will be seen in action as captain and batsman as well.
Virat Kohli is the captain who has won the most Test matches for India. He has led India to victory in 40 Test matches under his captaincy. If we talk about Rohit Sharma, he has won 10 Test matches so far. Rohit Sharma has played 16 Test matches to win these 10 Test matches. Rohit Sharma has lost 4 matches as captain in Tests and two matches have ended in a draw. Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma has come very close to leaving behind Mohammad Azharuddin, who was the captain of the Indian team. Azharuddin has won 14 matches while captaining India in 47 Tests. Azhar has faced defeat in 14 matches, while 19 matches have ended in a draw.
We have already told you that Kohli is the player who has won the most matches as a captain for India. After this comes MS Dhoni. He has won 27 out of 60 Test matches as a captain. If we talk about Sourav Ganguly, then under his captaincy India has won 21 out of 47 matches. Azharuddin's name comes at number four, whose statistics we have already told you. That is, if Rohit Sharma wins five more Tests from here, then he will overtake Azhar and reach number four.
This will be a good opportunity for Rohit Sharma to leave Mohammad Azharuddin behind. The World Test Championship is still going on. Team India will play 10 Tests before its final. If the Indian team wins five of these matches, then not only will it have a chance to reach the final of the World Test Championship, but Rohit Sharma will also break Azhar's record. The Indian team is going to play two Tests against Bangladesh, three Tests against New Zealand and five Tests against Australia.
