Rohit Sharma scored 52 runs from 37 balls for India against Ireland on Wednesday (June 5) during the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 match played in New York. The right-handed batter hammered four fours and three sixes during his stay at the crease and helped India beat Ireland by eight wickets to get off to a winning start in the ongoing shortest format megaevent. By scoring 52 runs against the Irish team, Rohit achieved many batting milestones, and India’s win also helped him create new records.
Rohit has now become the most successful captain for India in T20Is. The 37-year-old has won 42 out of 55 T20Is played so far. MS Dhoni is second on the list with 41 wins in 72 T20Is as captain. The win over Ireland has also helped Rohit become the third Indian after Sachin Tendulkar and Virat to win 300 matches as an Indian player.
Legendary Tendulkar, who played 664 matches for India across formats, won 307, and Kohli has been part of 314 wins for India. Former Indian captain and legendary wicketkeeper-batter MS Dhoni is in the 4th spot with 295 wins in 535 matches.
