Rohit Sharma is regarded as one of India’s most iconic batsmen in limited-overs cricket. He made his debut in an ODI against Ireland in 2007 in Belfast, but it took almost six years for him to secure a permanent spot in the team.
Since his debut in 2007, Rohit Sharma has won four ICC titles — two as a player and two as a captain. He played a pivotal role in helping India end their ICC title drought in 2024, leading the team to victory in the T20 World Cup in Barbados, marking their first ICC title win since 2013. Rohit further solidified his leadership legacy by winning the ICC Champions Trophy as captain in 2025.
All ICC Titles Won by Rohit Sharma:
1. ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2007
Rohit Sharma’s first ICC title came in 2007 at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. He was part of the young Indian team that stunned the world by defeating top teams like Australia, England, and Pakistan to claim the title.
In the tournament, Sharma scored 88 runs across four innings, including a half-century. In the final against Pakistan, he played an unbeaten knock of 30 off 16 balls, helping India set a target of 157/5.
2. ICC Champions Trophy 2013
The 2013 ICC Champions Trophy was a significant milestone in Rohit Sharma’s career in limited-overs cricket. Initially tried as a middle-order batsman, Rohit was promoted to open the batting by Indian captain MS Dhoni during the tournament.
Rohit finished as India’s second-highest run-scorer, amassing 177 runs in five matches, behind Shikhar Dhawan. In the semi-final against Sri Lanka, he scored 33 runs, setting the stage for a successful chase of 182.
3. ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024
Rohit Sharma’s first ICC title as a captain came in the form of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, held in the USA and Caribbean Islands. The victory also ended India’s 11-year wait for an ICC trophy.
Rohit was the top scorer for India in the tournament, amassing 257 runs in eight matches at a strike rate of 157. His crucial 57-run knock in the semi-final against England helped India win by 68 runs. Although he didn’t make an impact with the bat in the final, his leadership and calmness helped India defend 30 runs in the last five overs, securing the title.
4. ICC Champions Trophy 2025
After the disappointment of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, Rohit Sharma led India to redemption with an ICC Champions Trophy win in 2025 in Dubai.
Under his captaincy, India maintained a perfect record, winning all five matches in the competition. Rohit made a bold decision to include four spinners in the playing XI, a tactic that worked wonders on Dubai’s pitches. He was named Player of the Match in the final for his crucial 76-run knock against New Zealand, guiding India to a four-wicket victory in a challenging 252-run chase.
