Islamabad, Mar 10 2025: Rohit Sharma has etched his name in cricketing history by securing his fourth major title as a leader, following India’s triumph in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
The commanding victory over New Zealand in the final at Dubai placed Rohit Sharma among an elite group of captains who have won four significant tournaments.
With this achievement, he joins Imran Khan, MS Dhoni, and Ricky Ponting—each of whom has led their teams to four major tournament victories featuring at least five competing sides.

| Rohit Sharma | India | Asia Cup 2018, Asia Cup 2023, T20 World Cup 2024, Champions Trophy 2025 |
| Imran Khan | Pakistan | Austral-Asia Cup 1986, Nehru Cup 1989, Austral-Asia Cup 1990, World Cup 1992 |

The match-winning performance from Rohit in the final also earned him the Player of the Match award, making him only the fourth captain in history to receive this honor in an ICC final.
With four ICC trophies, the right-handed hard hitter is now the second Indian captain, after legendary cricketer MS Dhoni, to win multiple global titles.
Under his leadership, the Men in Blue has dominated international tournaments, winning 23 out of 24 matches across the last three ICC events.
