Rohit's international debut in 2007 marked the onset of a glorious career. His first significant impact came at the ICC T20 World Cup the same year, where his unbeaten 30 off just 16 balls in the final against arch-rivals Pakistan showcased his immense potential on the big stage. For the next six years, Rohit primarily featured in the middle-order until the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy proved to be a turning point. Partnering with Shikhar Dhawan at the top of the order, he played a pivotal role in India's victorious campaign, showcasing a new dimension to his batting.
The shift to an opener unleashed Rohit's true potential. In ODIs, he boasts a staggering record of 10,709 runs in 262 matches at an average of 49.12. His monumental 264 against Sri Lanka remains the highest individual score in ODI history, with 31 centuries and 55 fifties under his belt. Notably, he ranks among the top run-scorers in ODIs, only behind legends like Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli.
Beyond limited-overs cricket, Rohit has proven his mettle in Test matches, accumulating 4137 runs at an average of 45.46 in 59 matches. His technique and temperament have been instrumental in India's success in the longest format of the game.
In the T20 arena, Rohit's leadership shines brightly, evidenced by his record-breaking six IPL titles as captain of the Mumbai Indians. With 6522 runs, he stands as the fourth-highest run-scorer in IPL history, earning him the moniker of 'Hitman' for his ability to dismantle bowling attacks with ease.
The 2023 ODI World Cup showcased another masterclass from Rohit, finishing as the second-highest run-scorer and reaffirming his dominance on the global stage. As he continues to lead Mumbai Indians in IPL 2024, Rohit's legacy as a batting great and inspiring captain is firmly cemented. With the promise of more records, moments of brilliance, and trophies on the horizon, the cricketing world eagerly awaits the next chapter in Rohit Sharma's illustrious career, starting with the T20 World Cup as he prepares to lead India in his third ICC tournament, aiming to end the 11-year-long jinx.
