5 most successful IPL captains

#2 Rohit Sharma (M - 58, W - 34, L - 24, W% - 58.62)

Rohit Sharma took over as captain from Ricky Ponting

The Mumbai batsman became the captain of Mumbai Indians after Ricky Ponting gave up the role in the 2013 season. The change in leadership had a positive impact on Mumbai’s fortunes and they went on to win the title.

With 538 runs at a reasonable strike rate, he was Mumbai’s highest and sixth highest run-getter overall in that season.

Rohit led the Mumbai Indians to another title in 2015. In the finals against CSK at the Eden Gardens, Rohit scored a 26-ball fifty and was instrumental in taking Mumbai to a score of 202 runs in 20 overs.

Mumbai went on to win the match by 41 runs and Rohit Sharma was named as the player of the match for his swashbuckling innings. Overall, Rohit is also the third highest run-scorer in all IPL matches behind Virat Kohli and Suresh Raina.
