View In AppIn the upcoming IND vs ENG Test Series, Rohit Sharma has a chance of breaking the captaincy record for most wins as India captain in Test cricket.
Rohit Sharma, with six wins in 11 Test matches as India captain, currently shares the position with Bishan Singh Bedi, who led India to six wins in 22 Tests.
A win over England in the upcoming IND vs ENG Test Series would elevate Rohit above legends Bishan Singh Bedi (6 wins from 22 Tests), Sunil Gavaskar (9 wins from 47 Tests) and MAK Pataudi (9 wins from 40 Tests) in the elite list of successful Indian Test captains.
If Rohit Sharma-led India attains a clean sweep over England in five-match IND vs ENG Test series, it would place Rohit fifth in list of Indian captains with most Test wins for the national team.
Top 5 players with most wins as India captain: Virat Kohli (40 wins in 68 matches), MS Dhoni (27 wins in 60 matches), Saurav Ganguly (21 wins in 49 Test matches), M Azharuddin (14 wins in 47 Test matches), Sunil Gavaskar (9 wins in 47 Test matches).
Since losing to England in 2012, team India has maintained an impressive record of not losing any home series.
