Rohit Sharma, affectionately known as "Hitman," etched his name into the annals of cricket history by achieving three significant world records during this triumphant campaign. Here are those records

1. This victory marked his 50th win as captain in T20 Internationals, making him the first captain in the world to reach this milestone. Having taken over the captaincy of the Indian T20 team in 2021, Rohit has led the team in 61 matches, securing victories in 50 of them.
2. Moreover, Rohit Sharma became the first Indian player to win two T20 World Cup trophies. He was an integral part of the team that won the inaugural T20 World Cup in 2007 under MS Dhoni’s captaincy, contributing significantly with a quickfire 30 runs off 16 balls in the final.
3. India's unbeaten run in the 2024 T20 World Cup further highlighted Rohit's exceptional leadership. The team did not lose a single match throughout the tournament, a feat that set a new world record for a perfect victory streak in a T20 World Cup. This accomplishment surpassed MS Dhoni’s 2007 campaign, where India had suffered a defeat against New Zealand.

Rohit Sharma's remarkable achievements and India's flawless performance in the tournament have solidified his legacy as one of the greatest captains in T20 cricket history.
