Rohit Sharma is having fun with certainly one of his all-time finest days as India’s skipper in the meanwhile. The Nagpur-born has efficiently led the Males in Blue to eight consecutive wins within the ongoing World Cup and is inches away from equalling MS Dhoni’s elusive captaincy feat.
Rohit has already equalled former captain Sourav Ganguly’s file of profitable essentially the most consecutive matches in ODI World Cups by an Indian captain. Ganguly had received eight video games on the trot throughout the 2003 World Cup and the streak ended with a loss in opposition to Australia within the summit conflict of the match.
Rohit is on the cusp of equalling MS Dhoni’s file for many wins by an Indian captain in ODI World Cup historical past. Dhoni received 11 consecutive video games between the 2011 and the 2015 World Cup. His 11-match-long streak began with India’s convincing win over West Indies within the forty second match (a Group B tie) of the 2011 version whereas enjoying on the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
It lasted until the second quarterfinal of the 2015 World Cup as India routed Bangladesh by 109 runs whereas enjoying on the Melbourne Cricket Floor (MCG). Dhoni’s streak was put to mattress by the Michael Clarke-led Australia within the semifinals of the 2015 version as India suffered a crushing 95-run defeat on the Sydney Cricket Floor (SCG).
Now, Rohit has a probability of equalling Dhoni’s file because the hosts are left with a minimal of two video games – a match in opposition to Netherlands within the round-robin stage and their semi-final conflict. If India win each of these and go on to carry the title within the summit conflict then Rohit will equal Dhoni’s elusive file.
