Team India began its Asia Cup 2025 campaign in style, registering a 9-wicket victory against UAE. The bowlers dismantled the opposition for just 57 runs, and the chase was wrapped up inside 4.3 overs. With this win, Suryakumar Yadav’s captaincy record has now gone past the achievements of legends like MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, and Rohit Sharma in terms of winning percentage.

SKY’s Impressive Captaincy Record

Suryakumar Yadav was handed the T20I captaincy in 2023, and since then, India has played 23 matches under him. The results speak volumes:

• Matches: 23

• Won: 18

• Lost: 4

• Tied: 1

• Win Percentage: 82.6

This remarkable record puts him at the top of the list among Indian T20I captains.

Rohit Sharma in Second Place

Veteran opener Rohit Sharma, who captained India in 62 T20Is, comes in second with an impressive win record:

• Won: 49

• Lost: 12

• Tied: 1

• Win Percentage: 80.6

Virat Kohli at Number Three

Former captain Virat Kohli led India in 50 matches, achieving:

• Won: 30

• Lost: 16

• Tied: 2

• No Result: 2

• Win Percentage: 66.7

Hardik Pandya Ahead of Dhoni

All-rounder Hardik Pandya, though with a smaller sample size, edges past Dhoni’s win percentage:

• Matches: 16

• Won: 10

• Lost: 5

• Tied: 1

• Win Percentage: 62.5

Dhoni’s Legendary Reign

MS Dhoni, considered one of the greatest leaders in world cricket, captained India in 72 T20Is:

• Won: 41

• Lost: 28

• Tied: 1

• No Result: 2

• Win Percentage: 60.6

While Dhoni’s percentage is lower compared to others, his leadership brought India iconic titles, including the 2007 T20 World Cup and the 2013 Champions Trophy.

With an 82.6% win record, Suryakumar Yadav now holds the best captaincy record in Indian T20I history, proving that he is more than just a batting powerhouse—he is also a highly effective leader.
