Many great captains have graced cricket, but Rohit Sharma’s most recent feat writes a new chapter. He is now the only captain in the history of cricket to lead his team into the final in all four major ICC men’s tournaments. His leadership has once again put India into the finals in a tournament after defeating Australia in the semi-finals at the Champions Trophy 2025: the Indian team has again made him a “Godfather of Cricket“.
Before Rohit Sharma, there has not been one captain who has worked hard with his entire team to reach the final of the WTC, the ODI World Cup, the T20 World Cup, and the Champions Trophy. Even the most versatile captain of India, MS Dhoni, associated with three titles under ICC, never made it even to the final of a WTC. In the same way, Kohli, marching India to the finals of the Champions Trophy 2017 and WTC 2021, did not exude the kind of constancy commanded by Rohit.
This monumental achievement leads India to:
WTC Final (2023): India reached the final and lost to Australia again.
ODI World Cup Final (2023): Another final that ended in disappointment.
T20 World Cup Final (2024): This is an important landmark under his captaincy.
Champions Trophy Final (2025): The latest achievement, with hopes for finally winning a trophy.
India’s quest in the Champions Trophy in 2025 has proved itself to be the best thing ever-it was with full authority that the team topped the group stage with three straight wins and remained unbeaten until the semi-final against Australia, which was a nail-biting clash; once again, Sharma and Kohli took the pressure off the rest of the players.
Kholi’s masterful innings crafted an 84-run chase to propel India to victory by four wickets over 265, going into its third consecutive ICC tournament final in two years. While bowlers were primarily important in achieving that goal, the batting team’s composure ultimately sealed it.
Rohit Sharma’s captaincy has propelled India to multiple finals, but the final piece of the jigsaw-dream silverware remains elusive. The past two years have been almost certainly seasoned disappointments as India faltered at the last and final hurdle. Australia, in both the WTC 2023 and ODI World Cup 2023 finals, stood between India and the quest for glory. This new final, in particular, would be an opportunity for Rohit to bring about a turnaround in the narrative.
In what promises to be another of the defining streaks of resilience, the ICC Champions Trophy final is set to occur on March 9 in Dubai. South Africa and New Zealand will compete in the second semi-final, and the winner will face India for the prestigious trophy.
Sharma’s success as captain derives from his tactics of backing players and rotating bowlers, which have made India a tough unit across formats. Unlike most past captains, though, he has steadied the ship in ICC tournaments through much-needed adaptability to different conditions.
This has ensured that he opens the innings aggressively yet sensibly for India. His style combines inspiration and tactical genius to create a gem that can’t be substituted in India’s venture to glory.
