Playing basic cricket against Baaz Ball, the team under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma beat England 3-1 in the cricket series played at home. On Monday, the Indian team won the series by defeating England by 5 wickets in the fourth Test of the five-match series. After learning from the defeat at the end of the thrilling first Test, the Indian team has defeated England in the third Test in a row to take an unassailable 3-1 lead.
The fifth and final Test match of the series between India and England will be played in Dharamsala from March 7. However, with the victory of the fourth test, captain Rohit Sharma has left his own team's head coach and former captain Rahul Dravid behind. With this win, Rohit Sharma became India's joint fifth most successful Test captain along with Dravid. Rahul Dravid led India in 25 Tests and led India to victory in eight. Under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, India has won 9th in 15 Tests.
Equaled these giants:
Rohit Sharma has equaled the records of Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi and Sunil Gavaskar. Pataudi led India to 9 wins in 40 Tests while Gavaskar led India to 9 wins in 47 Tests. However, King Kohli is at the top in this matter. Virat Kohli holds the record of India's most successful Test captaincy. Kohli has led the team to an amazing 40 wins in 68 Tests.
You will question that where is Dhoni? Is Kohli ahead of Dhoni? The answer is yes. Mahendra Singh Dhoni is second in the list of most Test wins for India. Under the leadership of Dhoni, India won 27 out of 60 Tests. Sourav Ganguly is third in this list of most successful Test cricket captains with 21 out of 49 Test wins. Then Mohammad Azharuddin has 14 wins in 47 Tests and currently holds the fourth position.
However, now in the fifth Test against England, Rohit Sharma has a great chance to become India's fifth most successful captain. For this, England will need to be defeated in the fifth and final Test to be played at Dharamsala. If the Indian team succeeds in defeating England in the fifth Test, it will be India's 10th win under the leadership of Rohit Sharma.
Another record in Dhoni's name:
Rohit Sharma has equaled former captain MS Dhoni's record in a special case with a brilliant victory in the Ranchi Test. Rohit Sharma has won three consecutive Tests against England. Rohit Dhoni, Mohammad Azharuddin and Ajit Wadekar have been included in the list to achieve this kind of achievement. In this matter also, only Kohli has won more Tests against England than Rohit Sharma as Indian captain with 10 wins in 18 Tests.
