Rohit Sharma, Team India captain, is gearing up to lead the team in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024. The proven leader may have had a successful stint as the skipper of his franchise in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and also in international cricket but an ICC trophy still eludes him, despite the team playing an inspiring brand of cricket, undefeated on their way to the final of the ODI World Cup 2023 final in Ahmedabad.
