Team India, captained by Rohit Sharma, once again defeated West Indies in the T20 series. India registered a 3-0 clean sweep in the series after registering a 17-run win in the third and final T20I at the Eden Gardens Stadium on Sunday. This is Team India’s fourth consecutive series win against West Indies in the last four T20I series. In this, the Indian team has cleaned the Windies three times. At the same time, Rohit has now equaled Pakistan’s Sarfraz Ahmed in terms of winning most matches as captain in T20I cricket.
This is Rohit’s ninth win in T20Is as captain of the Indian team included in ICC full member countries. He has registered this victory between 2019-22. Before him, under the captaincy of Sarfaraz Ahmed, Pakistan had won nine consecutive matches in 2018. Hitman Rohit now has a chance to overtake Safraj in the T20I series against Sri Lanka from February 24. At the same time, Afghanistan’s Asghar Afghan is on top in this matter, under whose captaincy the team won 12 consecutive matches between 2018-20. Under Asghar’s captaincy, Afghanistan won 11 consecutive T20 matches in 2016 and 2017 but Afghanistan was not a full member of the ICC at that time.
India’s ninth consecutive win in T20Is
With the defeat of Windies in the third match, India registered their ninth consecutive match win in T20Is for the second time. This victory of India has come between November 2021 and February 2022. Earlier, Team India had won nine consecutive matches from January 2020 to December 2020. Apart from this, Team India has won seven consecutive T20 matches from December 2012 to April 2014, from February 2016 to March 2016 and from March 2018 to July 2018.
