Rohit Sharma has been a brilliant captain for India across formats. He possesses a deep understanding of the game and has the potential to read the match situations pretty well. His calm and composed approach has played a role in changing the complexion of the game.

On top of that, he connects well with his teammates and backs them in their ups and downs of their journey. These are the positive aspects that encourage a good team environment and promote overall confidence, which positively impacts the team performance over long spells.

Under his captaincy, three players have relished great success across formats and deservedly won the Player of the Match awards. Let’s learn more about them in detail.

1. Ravindra Jadeja

Rohit Sharma took charge as the Test captain in February 2022. Since then, India’s all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja performed superbly well in the longest format. The 35-year-old has bagged as many as 3 Man of the Match awards, the most by a player under Rohit’s captaincy in Tests.

Jadeja has been a utility player for India, offering his true qualities in the areas of batting, bowling and fielding. Overall, the three-dimensional asset scored 2893 runs in Tests including 3 centuries and 20 fifties. On the other hand, he took 280 wickets including 12 fifers.

2. Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli has by far been the best all-format batter in the current era. He is known for his tremendous ability to adapt to various conditions, pitches and formats. India’s run-machine has perfected the art of making technical adjustments to his game, a trait that helped him become the most successful cricketer.

Under Rohit Sharma’s captaincy, the Delhi-born cricketer has won as many as five Man of the Match awards in One-Day Internationals, which is the most by an Indian player. The senior pro scored 13,848 runs in the 50-over format including 50 centuries and 74 fifties.

3. Suryakumar Yadav

Suryakumar Yadav achieved instant success ever since he stepped foot into the T20 format. He has emerged as one of the most impactful players as far as the truncated version of the game is concerned, where India immensely benefited from his services.

He is known for his ability to play shots all around the park, which is why he is referred to as "India's Mr 360". Notably, he has bagged as many as 7 Man of the Match awards under Rohit Sharma’s captaincy, the most by an Indian player in T20Is.
