#1 Rohit Sharma – Mumbai Indians

Rohit Sharma

Mumbai Indians’ decision in asking Rohit Sharma to captain the team mid-way through the season in IPL 2013 was one of the best decisions ever taken by them in their IPL history. The move has paid rich dividends and even continues to do so. Sharma, who has led Mumbai in more than six seasons, has been able to lift the trophy four time for the franchise.

Captaining Mumbai has not only helped the franchise but has also allowed him to emerge as a better player for the Indian team. He understands the nuances of the game and tends to back his players to deliver for him in crunch situations. The availability of some quality players has also helped his cause but it is the captain who tends to extract the best of his players during the field.

In IPL 2020, the MI fans would hope that Rohit Sharma can lead them to yet another IPL title win by the end of May 2020.

Matches captained: 104 Won: 60 Lost: 42 Win %: 58.65
