Rohit Sharma will captain India in ICC World Test Championship final against Australia

Sharma is currently in England, prepping up for the upcoming ICC World Test Championship (WTC) final against Australia. The Indian captain will be keen to win his first ICC trophy. He is a former Asia Cup-winning captain, but Sharma has never won an ICC title.

Last year, India qualified for the semifinals of the ICC T20 World Cup under his leadership. However, England knocked them out with a 10-wicket thrashing in the last-four stage.

Two years ago, India finished runners-up in the previous edition of the World Test Championship. Rohit Sharma's men will be keen to improve their performance and win their first ICC trophy since the year 2013.
