Southampton: Team India skipper Rohit Sharma added another mean feat to his impressive tenure since taking over as permanent captain from Virat Kohli. The ‘Hitman’ has won 15 consecutive games across all formats, with the Men In Blue undefeated under Rohit’s captaincy so far.

On Friday, India beat England by 50 runs in the first T20I at Southampton with Hardik Pandya’s half-century followed by a four-wicket haul, propelling the visitors to a resounding victory.
While Rohit Sharma’s men have now taken a 1-0 lead in the series, the captain also achieved a world record as he became the first captain in T20I history to win 13 successive games.
With a World Record at stake, Rohit ensured that there was no slip-up as he became the first skipper in the history of the game to register 13 successive wins in the shortest format.
India have been doing extremely well in the shortest format ever since Rohit took over the reins from Virat Kohli. In the 13 wins that the Hitman has achieved as captain, India have gone on to beat teams like New Zealand, West Indies, Sri Lanka and now England.
