Rohit is just second to New Zealand’s Kane Williamson to achieve the remarkable feat. Williamson captained the ship in the 2019 ODI World Cup final, 2021 World Test Championship final and also the 2021 T20 World Cup final.

The Maharashtra-born India star captained India in the World Test Championship final in 2023, and also led India to the final in their home World Cup final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
Talking about the 2024 T20 World Cup final, India won the toss and opted to bat first. Rohit and Virat Kohli opened, and opened well, scoring at a good rate. After Sharma’s dismissal, Kohli anchored the Indian innings, scoring 76 from 59 deliveries.
Axar Patel chipped in with a valuable 47, and small yet useful cameos from Dube helped India to set a target of 177 for South Africa.
