The first T20I of Afghanistan’s tour of India has started in Mohali. Indian captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and chose to field.
After entering the field to lead India, Rohit was looking for a smashing record. Rohit Sharma holds the record of being the oldest captain to lead India in the T20 format.
Rohit achieved this feat by surpassing superstar Shikhar Dhawan.
Rohit’s age is 36 years and 256 days on January 11, 2024. Dhawan was 35 years and 236 days old when he took over the captaincy in the match against Sri Lanka in 2021.
With more matches to go in the series, Rohit Sharma is sure to improve this record.
