Rohit is only the third captain in the history of Indian cricket to win an ICC trophy. Kapil Dev was the first captain to achieve this feat for India, defeating the mighty West Indies in the final of the 1983 ODI World Cup. MS Dhoni became the second captain to lift an ICC trophy, ending a 24-year wait by winning the inaugural T20 World Cup in 2007. Dhoni then guided the Men in Blue to two more ICC trophies, winning the 2011 ODI World Cup and the Champions Trophy in 2013.
