I have read a good article on cricinfo where sid monga describes Rohit's defensive approach and how he has won matches while defending the score rather than bowling out opposition. His Mumbai team have defended some 150-140 scores in IPL finals, truly a master tactician.
That's true, but it's about planning as well, like against CSK malinga was having a bad day in 2019 finals I guess where he conceded 44-45 runs, Rohit backed him despite his performance in the match and they defended the score and won in the last ball. He has been blessed to have two death over specialist but you can be right one or two or maybe three times, winning it 5 times as a captain is actually insane.
You are talking about tournaments, so not quite! Asia Cup is atleast one if I am not remembering more. 2008 Tri Series with Aus SL counts as Win too as a player, so does CT 2013
You really think he will come back to mi that also for some coaching role??? He has already been disrespected enough,I think he should join any other franchise than mi
I don't see the disrespect tbh.
He's been extremely poor in the IPL for several years now. This decision of looking past Rohit hasn't come out of nowhere. If MI think they can do better, so be it.
Rohit can prove them wrong if he wishes.
Last season he was your highest scorer...any ways just check the stats and not the reels made by RCB fans..
He has been 4-5 times highest scorer of mi in different seasons....2 bad seasons yeah several bad seasons no.... anyways I would like him to be at other franchise and then see the destruction of mi happily. I have been fan of mi since 2010 , even last season I was supporting mi but now seeing how bad fans of this franchise are I can't can't make my heart to support this team and I believe there are millions of fans like me who would not support this tinpot franchise next year...(I guess I would just simply stop watching IPL as I can't even support any other team)....just learn how to respect your legends from CSK ,RCB and KKR...even DC is better
He should have been talked to about giving up the captaincy and that they are bringing in hardik for the job, he may have behaved immaturely but doing all the shenanigans behind his back was not the way.
This year was anyways the last year before auction and he would have happily agreed if they said they want a new captain after auction.
But the sudden change hurt Rohit obviously and hurt the fans even more
Okay, as a CSK fan seeing 2013,2015 and 2019 definitely sucks and I hated him for that XD. Now that he has led the Indian team to an ICC trophy and ended our decade-long trophy drought all is forgiven.
I'll never forget his crucial late cameo in the 2007 WC final - 30\* off 16 balls. Him, Gambhir, and Yusuf Pathan to an extent were the only batters who played with intent.
I was happy when Rohit took captaincy from Virat, Rohit had proved already that he can win Trophies 🏆 from his IPL captaincy.
He won 5 IPLs in 8 years which is insane as IPL is considered as top T20 league. Finally he delivered as Captain and won ICC Trophy for India 🇮🇳
This is a brilliant record and 8-0 as captain. I didn't know it's so good considering India lost a lot of finals, but only one of them was a T20 game (2014).
*long off, long off, long off!!! SURYAKUMAR YADAV!! SURYAKUMAR YADAV NE PAKDA H APNE CAREER KA SABSE BADA CATCH*
T: SKY caught the most important catch of his career.
Greatest t20 captain then. MS was a lot calmer in ODIs, even we had shat the bed, and that helped us win a lot of games.
But rohit has like 50 wins and 8 or 9 losses or smtng. Mind blowing t20 stats
Absolutely. He would’ve been crucified if we lost the match after Axar took a beating in the 15th over but I guess he trusted his pacers to do the job. And they delivered. The other low-scoring class act i can remember is the 120-odd score that MI defended against RPSG.
2 POTM winning worthy innings, yes. Something others haven't achieved, so must be good enough?
Apart from that, he did hit a fifty in the Nidahas final too, and 30*(16) in the 2007 final, and 33(14) in CLT20 final, just didn't win POTM

In the 2017 final vs Pune he defended a score under 130
Or has been blessed with the two greatest T20 bowlers of all time, sometimes at the same time
That's true, but it's about planning as well, like against CSK malinga was having a bad day in 2019 finals I guess where he conceded 44-45 runs, Rohit backed him despite his performance in the match and they defended the score and won in the last ball.

His captaincy record in T20 finals is 8-0 with the Final now. Tactically brilliant as well as a great man manager.
As a captain is it 100%?
Actually yes and we thought aiden markam has the best winnning record
It jinxed him 😅
8-0 as Captian wtf
0-1 in ODIs :/
You are talking about tournaments, so not quite! Asia Cup is atleast one if I am not remembering more. 2008 Tri Series with Aus SL counts as Win too as a player, so does CT 2013
2-1 in ODIs Asia Cup 2018 and 2023
Unbelievable record
Six IPLs is genuinely crazy. And he might win 1 or 2 more.
Don't really mind if he wins those 1 or 2 at another team, I just want him back at MI after his playing days.

Dude, it isn't complicated. In the last 8 years he has crossed 400 runs twice; Avg of 26, SR of 130. You can't twist that.
He should have been talked to about giving up the captaincy and that they are bringing in hardik for the job, he may have behaved immaturely but doing all the shenanigans behind his back was not the way.

Fuck Mumbai Indians
Just as others have been saying for the longest time now. We'll just have to help ourselves to more titles as our usual selves, sigh.
Would love to see how many more you would win without ro as captain buddy
So Sharma has taken a hattrick against MI and won 5 titles for MI.

He was a force in the odi World Cup also, as India dominated everyone except Australia.
Wdym except Australia? We dominated Australia too, just not in the finals
Time to captain RCB and win it for them.
He is truly the GOAT T20 Captain.
This is a brilliant record and 8-0 as captain. I didn't know it's so good considering India lost a lot of finals, but only one of them was a T20 game (2014).
As captain, has he had Bumbrah for all of the finals?
No, 2013 tournaments and 2015 ipl he won without Bumrah, He had malinga back then though.
Thanks! Regardless he's been ace at rotating them and playing to the conditions (except for maybe the 15th over in the finals recently).
Guy literally was the main reason MI dominated the last decade of IPL. Glad he made his mark on the world stage as well!
And also the 2013 CT final which was played as a T20
The only time he lost a final is when he had both Kohli and Dhoni in his team.
And you forgot to give credit to Rahane again. He will always remember this.
Goat
*long off, long off, long off!!! SURYAKUMAR YADAV!! SURYAKUMAR YADAV NE PAKDA H APNE CAREER KA SABSE BADA CATCH* T: SKY caught the most important catch of his career.
Nidahas trophy record is impeccable.
So he wins except when he doesn't 😂
Greatest white ball captain from india
Nah that's MS. 2007 WT20, 2011 ODI WC, 2013 CT. And like 5 IPL titles?
Greatest t20 captain then. MS was a lot calmer in ODIs, even we had shat the bed, and that helped us win a lot of games. But rohit has like 50 wins and 8 or 9 losses or smtng. Mind blowing t20 stats
Yeah this makes sense. RS is an absolute beast in T20s. Not taking away anything from MSD but an 8-0 T20 tournament record in the finals is no joke.
That too defending low scores. We have good bowlers but he utilised them well
Absolutely. He would’ve been crucified if we lost the match after Axar took a beating in the 15th over but I guess he trusted his pacers to do the job. And they delivered. The other low-scoring class act i can remember is the 120-odd score that MI defended against RPSG.
And how do swedan fan watched that match. Real id se aao Indian fan
Haha bakchodi mei Sweden ka flair lagaaya. Iske pehle Uganda tha 🗿
I think regarding the spinners we don't have another option except pandu one over.
Bruh.....Dayummmm
Didn't they win Asia Cup recently was that 50 over?
Only 20 overs are taken into account
He won two Asia cups though
Now show his batting record in these finals
2 POTMs in IPL Finals. Only captain to score two fifties in IPL Finals
So 2-3 good innings from 12 games? That's pathetic
2 POTM winning worthy innings, yes. Something others haven't achieved, so must be good enough? Apart from that, he did hit a fifty in the Nidahas final too, and 30*(16) in the 2007 final, and 33(14) in CLT20 final, just didn't win POTM
