Rohit Sharma equals Pakistan captain Babar Azam’s record after leading India to T20 World Cup semifinals

Rohit Sharma, the Indian cricket team captain, has been making waves in the T20 International (T20I) format. After leading India to a recent T20 World Cup victory against Australia, he has matched Pakistan captain Babar Azam’s record for the most wins as a captain in this format. In addition, Sharma has surpassed his teammate Virat Kohli to become the leading run-scorer in T20Is.

Sharma’s leadership skills were on full display during India’s recent win over Australia, which was his 60th match as captain. His return to form as a batsman has been impressive, with a total of 4,165 runs in 157 matches at an average of 32.03 and a strike rate of 140.75. This achievement places him ahead of Babar Azam and Virat Kohli in terms of T20I run-scoring.

Following his performance against Australia, Rohit Sharma received praise from various quarters, including BCCI Secretary Jay Shah, who lauded his efforts on social media. During the match against Australia, Sharma played a crucial role, scoring 92 runs off 41 deliveries to help set a challenging target of 205 runs for the opposition. Despite a strong showing from Australia’s Travis Head, Sharma’s captaincy guided India to a 24-run victory.

India fans are hopeful that Sharma will lead them to continued success in the T20 World Cup tournament as they prepare for their semi-final match against England in Guyana. With his impressive leadership and batting skills, it looks like Rohit Sharma will be a key player for India as they aim to win their second T20 World Cup title.
