Which Indian captains have reached most number of ICC tournament finals?

Rohit Sharma leads the line with four, as he has reached four ICC finals. Unfortunately, his team had to face defeats in both the World Test Championship (WTC) and the ICC 50-over World Cup against Australia. The T20 World Cup provides the Indian skipper some relief.

Former captain and legend MS Dhoni is equal on the list with four. During Dhoni's tenure, there was no existence of the WTC; it only started after his retirement.

He captained India to the finals of the 2007 T20 World Cup, 2011 ODI World Cup, 2013 Champions Trophy, and 2014 T20 WC. However, he lost out on the last one.

Saurav Ganguly, Virat Kohli and Kapil Dev come next on the list.
