Xtra Time Web Desk: Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma achieved a major landmark on Tuesday as he went out to toss with Delhi Capitals captain Shreyas Iyer in the final of the IPL 2020 at Dubai International Stadium. Rohit became the 2nd player after MS Dhoni to play 200 IPL matches.
MS Dhoni achieved the landmark earlier this season and finished his campaign in IPL 2020 with 204 matches.
Rohit played 45 matches between IPL 2008 and 2010 for the now-defunct Deccan Chargers and he won the title with them in 2009. He was roped in by Mumbai Indians in IPL 2011 and has been playing for the Mumbai-based franchise ever since.
Rohit has represented MI in 155 matches in the IPL, took over the captaincy of the side from Ricky Ponting mid-way during IPL 2013. In his first year as captain, Rohit led MI to their maiden title and there has been no looking ever since for both the skipper and the team.
Rohit Sharma has emerged as the most successful captain in the history of IPL, with 4 titles. He has been part of 5 title-winning campaigns, the most by a player in the tournament.
