Rohit Sharma
India skipper Rohit Sharma is the second captain with the most wins in the Indian Premier League. The former Mumbai Indians skipper was part of the Deccan Chargers in IPL 2009 as they won their first title under the captaincy of Adam Gilchrist. Later in the 2011 season, he was bought by the Mumbai-based franchise, and that’s when the love affair between him and the franchise started.
The team purchased him for a whopping $2 million, which was around ₹9 Crore at that time. He then took over the captaincy from Ricky Ponting mid-season in 2013, and needless to say, his leadership changed the team’s fortune. Under his captaincy, the team won titles in 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2020. While he is the most successful captain alongside MS Dhoni in terms of IPL trophies, Sharma sits at second spot in terms of matches. The 36-year-old guided his side to 87 wins out of 158 games he captained Mumbai Indians.
