How are Rohit Sharma’s captaincy statistics in Tests?
Rohit Sharma Test Captain Records: After retiring from T20 International, Rohit Sharma’s entire focus is now on ODI and Test cricket. At this time the Indian team is not playing any match, but this rest is going to end soon. Next month i.e. in September, Bangladesh team is going to tour India. During this, two test matches will be played, which will start from 19 September. That means Rohit Sharma will also be seen in action as a captain and batsman. Let’s look at the statistics of Rohit Sharma’s test captaincy.
Virat Kohli is the captain who has won the most Test matches for India
Virat Kohli is the captain who has won the most Test matches for India. He has made India win 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 Test matches. Azhar has faced defeat in 14 matches, while 19 matches have ended in a draw.
Apart from Kohli, Dhoni and Sourav Ganguly were also named
We have already told you that Kohli is the player who has won the most matches as captain for India. After this comes MS Dhoni. He has won 27 of the 60 test matches as captain. If we talk about Sourav Ganguly, India has won 21 out of 47 matches under his captaincy. Azharuddin’s name comes at number four, whose statistics we have already told you. That means if Rohit Sharma wins five more tests from here, he will overtake Azhar and reach number 4.
Rohit Sharma can beat Azhar only in World Test Championship
This will be a good opportunity for Rohit Sharma to surpass Mohammad Azharuddin. The World Test Championship is currently underway. Team India will play 10 Tests before the final. If the Indian team wins five of these matches, 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 will be seen playing two Tests against Bangladesh, three Tests against New Zealand and five Tests against Australia.
