What is Rohit Sharma’s record in T20 World Cup finals? 

Rohit Sharma will look to secure a much-awaited trophy for Team India when they take on South Africa in the 2024 T20 World Cup final on Saturday, June 29. After overcoming the challenge of England in the semifinal, Sharma became the most successful captain in T20I history with 49 wins. This will be India's third final appearance in the tournament's history after 2007 and 2014.

Interestingly, the Indian skipper made his T20I debut in the 2007 T20 World Cup against England. Although he didn't get to bat in that game, he scored a valiant 50* off 40 balls against South Africa in the next match and remained unbeaten on 8 off 5 against Australia in the semifinal.

In the final against Pakistan in Johannesburg, Sharma arrived at the crease with the score 111/4 in the 16th over. He slammed 30* off 16, with two fours and a six to provide a fine flourish for the Men in Blue and take them to 157. Ultimately, India secured a five-run victory to clinch their maiden T20 World Cup trophy.
