Heading into the T20 World Cup final, Aiden Markram boasts an unbelievable record as the captain of South Africa.

Amazingly Aiden Markram led South Africa in 6 games at ICC Under-19 World Cup in 2014 and won all six games as well to lead South Africa to the World Cup glory. 

In total 16 games in charge of South Africa at World Cup, Aiden Markram is yet to taste defeat as captain as he gears on to face Rohit Sharma and his India side at T20 World Cup 2024 final. Can Aiden Markram be the first captain to lead South Africa to the World Cup?

Rohit Sharma's record as captain of India in ICC tournaments is also quite impressive.

Rohit Sharma has captained India in 25 matches at World Cups (6 in T20 World Cup 2022, 8 in T20 World Cup 2024, 11 in ODI World Cup 2023). India has only lost three of these matches and one match was a washout. However, India has failed to win an ICC trophy under Rohit Sharma till now and the skipper will be hoping to change this fate against South Africa in the final at Barbados.
