Rohit Sharma is the most successful IPL captain in terms of the most titles won in the tournament. Under his tutelage, Mumbai Indians have won five trophies, one more than their rivals, Chennai Super Kings (4 titles).
Mumbai Indians hit the rock bottom of the points table in the previous edition. Rohit Sharma and Co hardly churned out positive results in the last season as they ended up winning four games and lost 10 games.
It remains to be seen how they will operate as a team in the next season of the IPL. Mumbai Indians will lock horns with Kolkata Knight Riders on April 1 at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya have a unique record as Indians in IPL
It is worth mentioning that Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya possess a unique record as Indians in the Indian Premier League. In fact, they are the only two Indians to have 300 runs and 10 wickets in an IPL season.
Rohit Sharma was the first to achieve this feat when he was playing for Deccan Chargers (now-defunct) franchise. In IPL 2009 season, Rohit Sharma scored 362 runs and took 11 wickets to his name.
Notably, Deccan Chargers went on to win the title by beating Royal Challengers Bangalore in the final. On the other hand, Hardik Pandya achieved this feat in IPL 2019 season. Thus he became the only Indian all-rounder to score 400+ runs and take 10+ wickets to his name.
Hardik Pandya finished the IPL 2019 season with 402 runs and took 14 wickets for Mumbai Indians. He is currently plying his trade as Gujarat Titans captain in the Indian Premier League.
Under his captaincy, Gujarat Titans made it to the finals in their debut season and won their maiden title. Gujarat Titans will lock horns with Chennai Super Kings in the IPL 2023 opener on March 31 in Ahmedabad.
Rohit at DC is different gravy. https://t.co/u4gzNV24XP
