Team India started the Champions Trophy with a win under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. Along with defeating Bangladesh in Dubai, the Indian captain also scored a special century. In fact, Rohit has won 100 international matches while captaining. He has also become the fastest captain along with Ricky Ponting to achieve this feat. Rohit has achieved this feat in just 139 matches. During this time, he won 100 matches, while he had to face defeat in 33 matches. The Indian captain has also left behind many legends.

Rohit is on top in this matter

Rohit has won 73 percent of the matches under his captaincy so far, which is the highest among any other captain. He has also left behind Australia's legendary captains Ricky Ponting and Steve Waugh in terms of winning percentage. Ponting had won 220 out of 324 international matches. His winning percentage was 67.90. Whereas Waugh had won 108 out of 163 matches with a win percentage of 66.25.

Rohit has also left behind South Africa's legendary captain Hansie Cronje. Cronje's winning percentage in international cricket was 65.96. He won 126 out of 191 matches as captain. Virat Kohli, one of India's most successful captains, won 64 percent of the matches as captain. He won 137 out of 213 matches. West Indies' Clive Lloyd won 100 out of 158 matches. His winning percentage was 63.

The first player to do so

Out of Rohit Sharma's 100 wins, 12 have come in Tests and 38 in ODIs. He has won 50 matches in T20 Internationals. One thing that makes Rohit very special is that he got the captaincy of Team India after the age of 30. On the other hand, Ponting became the captain of Australia at the age of 28. In this way, he has become the first player to achieve 100 wins by becoming a captain after the age of 30 in international cricket.
