Harmanpreet Kaur does what no T20 captain has done before, leaves Dhoni behind

Record Broken

Harmanpreet Kaur has moved past MS Dhoni in the T20 record books after leading India to the 2026 Asian Games gold medal. She now has 10 T20 finals wins as captain, becoming the first captain, male or female, to reach that mark.

Dhoni Surpassed

MS Dhoni had held the record with nine T20 finals victories as captain, built across India and Chennai Super Kings. His tally included the 2007 T20 World Cup, 2016 Asia Cup and five IPL triumphs, before Harmanpreet moved ahead.

Golden Run

Harmanpreet's latest record comes during a remarkable run for the Indian women's team. In the space of 11 days, she has led India to both the Asia Cup title and Asian Games gold in Japan, adding two major trophies to her captaincy record.

Ten Victories

Harmanpreet's 10 final wins have come across the Asia Cup, Women's T20 Challenge and WPL. Her Asia Cup victories listed in the record are from 2012, 2016, 2022 and 2026, while she also won the Women's T20 Challenge in 2019 and 2022 and WPL titles in 2023 and 2026.

Elite Company

The record puts Harmanpreet ahead of several prominent T20 captains. The supplied figures place MS Dhoni on nine final wins, Rohit Sharma on eight and Meg Lanning on seven, making Harmanpreet's 10 a new benchmark in the list provided.
