Explained: Rohit Sharma vs Dhoni...who has how many trophies? Hitman is now a few steps behind Mahi

Rohit Sharma vs MS Dhoni: India created history by defeating New Zealand in the final of the Champions Trophy. It won this title for the third time. India is the only country to have won three Champions Trophies. 

In 2002, under the captaincy of Sourav Ganguly, Team India became joint winner with Sri Lanka. After that, in 2013, Mahendra Singh Dhoni made the team champion under his captaincy. Now Rohit Sharma has carried forward that legacy.

Rohit surpassed Ganguly and Kapil Dev

Rohit Sharma has led India to victory in an ICC tournament for the second time under his captaincy. Last year, India won the T20 World Cup in the West Indies. 

After that, there was a grand celebration in Mumbai. However, this time there is no news about the preparations for the celebration. 

Rohit is the second captain of India to win 2 ICC trophies. He has left behind Sourav Ganguly and Kapil Dev. Kapil Dev won the World Cup in 1983, while Ganguly's team became the joint winner of the Champions Trophy in 2002.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni is the captain who has won the most ICC trophies for India. Under his leadership, India won the 2007 ICC T20 World Cup, 2011 ODI World Cup and 2013 Champions Trophy.
