Dhoni, Kohli, and Rohit have been pillars of Indian cricket in the past two decades. All three of them have served as India's captains during their respective careers. Currently, Rohit Sharma is India's captain in the Test and ODI formats.

MS Dhoni is regarded as one of the best finishers the game has ever seen. While batting mostly in the lower order, he has bailed India out of many difficult situations in the past with his late hitting. As a captain, Dhoni has probably been India's most successful captain so far. He has led India to a T20 World Cup win (2007), ODI World Cup (2011), and Champions Trophy (2013).

Kohli took over from Dhoni firstly as a Test captain and then as a white-ball captain as well. Under Kohli, India emerged as a force in overseas conditions. As a batter, Kohli is one of the most successful batters in all the formats.

The 35-year-old averages over 48 in all the formats and has scored 80 international hundreds. Kohli is just behind Sachin Tendulkar in the list of most hundreds in international cricket.

Meanwhile, Rohit has been a talismanic batter for India over the years. He made his debut in 2007 but his career rose to prominence after the 2013 Champions Trophy after he was promoted to open the innings. Rohit's ability to put pressure on the bowlers in the powerplay is second to none.

On his day, Rohit can destroy any bowling attack in the world. He is currently on top of the list of the batters with the most no. of sixes in international cricket. Under Rohit Sharma, India won the T20 World Cup 2024 title and finished as the runners-up in the ODI World Cup 2023.
