Rohit Sharma records another 100 after 30; Why India’s Champions Trophy win over Bangladesh special for Indian captain

India’s win over Bangladesh in Dubai in a Group A clash of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 was itself special for captain Rohit Sharma. Not only he became the second-fastest after Virat Kohli to reach 11000 runs, Rohit Sharma also became the first player in the world after the age of 30 to record 100 wins as a captain.

The win over Bangladesh was Rohit Sharma’s 100th win as skipper in 138 international games (ODIs, T20Is, Tests) – joint-fastest with Australian Ricky Ponting. Out of 138 games, India lost 33 games under Rohit Sharma while three matches ended in a draw while one was a tie.

Out of 100 wins under Rohit Sharma, 12 have come in Tests, 38 in ODIs and 50 in T20Is. In fact, he has a win percentage of 70. Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma is only the fourth Indian and 10th batter overall to reach the 11000 run-mark in the 50-over format.

The Indian skipper achieved the feat in the fourth over of India’s chase of 229 in their Group A match when he hit Mustafizur Rahman over mid-on for a boundary. The seasoned opener reached the mark in his 270th game and 261 innings.

Virat Kohli had crossed the 11,000-run mark in 222 innings. In this list, both Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are followed by the legendary Sachin Tendulkar (276 innings), Ricky Ponting (286) and Sourav Ganguly (288).
