Very recently we saw Rohit Sharma smash the fastest T20 century against Sri Lanka. What was the stand out feature of the century was the fact that it came as being a captain. Rohit Sharma has really enjoyed his little stint as a captain in the absence of Virat Kohli.
Rohit Sharma played a staggering inning of 118 from just 43 balls which is the third highest individual score by a captain in T20s. The list is dominated by Shane Watson who played a knock of unbeaten 124 against India at Sydney in the year 2016.
Only four T20 captains have scored a T20 century which include Dilshan and Du Plessis besides Rohit Sharma and Shane Watson.
