Who is the best IPL captain in the tournaments’ history- Rohit Sharma or MS Dhoni? The two-time Indian Premier League-winning captain Gautam Gambhir picked Rohit Sharma as the best captain in the history of IPL. Gambhir said that captaincy is all about winning trophies.
“I think it’s Rohit Sharma. He has won it four times. Captaincy is all about winning trophies,” the former left-handed batsman said.

He further added that Rohit could finish as the tournament’s most successful captain.

‘He may win 6-7 titles’: Gautam Gambhir

“He will end up being the most successful IPL captain of all time as well. He has 4 already, he may finish at 6-7 maybe under his belt,” Gambhir said.

“The choices that he makes under pressure are good. Dhoni is backed by the result, but among the pure captaincy point of view, the smartness and decision making, I would say Rohit Sharma,” he added.

Rohit is also the third-highest run-scorer in the IPL with 4,898 runs.Rohit has a bit of catching up to do in order to surpass MS Dhoni’s mammoth tally of 104 victories from 174 IPL matches.

Dhoni, who has captained the Chennai Super Kings and Rising Pune Supergiant, is the only IPL captain to have won over 100 matches.
