Despite failing to win the ODI World CupWorld CupWorld Cup 2023 under Rohit's leadership, the campaign for the hosts was far from disappointing. However, it is worth noting that no other Indian skipper has been able to achieve the same level of success in ICC tournaments since MS Dhoni.

Ravichandran Ashwin, India's veteran spinner, has provided a comprehensive analysis of Rohit as a captain, cricketer, and person, shedding light on the immense respect he commands in the dressing room.

"If you take a look at Indian cricket, everybody will be telling you that MS Dhoni is the best captain. (But), Rohit Sharma is an outstanding person, (and) he understands every single player in the team. He knows the likes and dislikes of each of us and has a great understanding. He puts in the effort to know each player personally," Ashwin said in a video on his YouTube channel.
