It was in June 2007, against Ireland, that a baby-faced 20-year-old Rohit burst onto the scene, displaying his immense potential and flexibility with some impactful knocks throughout the 2007 T20 World Cup-winning campaign. Since then, the ‘Hitman’ has evolved into one in every of the bravest openers of all time, a tactical mastermind with a trophy cabinet price envying, and the calm composure of a monk.
Having made his Test debut in 2013, Rohit has scored 4,301 runs in 67 Tests and 116 innings, averaging 40.57, with 12 centuries and 18 fifties, and his best rating being 212. He’s India’s leading run-getter within the ICC World Test Championship (WTC), with 2,716 runs at a mean of 41.15 in 40 Tests, with nine centuries and eight fifties in 69 innings.
He’s the Tenth-highest run-getter of all time within the competition and was the captain of the team which finished as runners-up to Australia in 2023 throughout the WTC final. He has seen mixed success in Tests as a captain, with 12 wins, nine losses, and three draws, with most wins coming at home.
The world got a glimpse of Rohit as a white-ball batter, a type of cricket during which he has dominated. In 273 ODIs and 265 innings, he has made 11,168 runs at a mean of 48.76 with 32 centuries and 58 fifties. His best rating in ODIs is 264. He’s the one batter with three ODI double tons.
He’s India’s fourth-highest run-getter in ODIS and is in Tenth place overall. As an ODI captain, Rohit led India to the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy title win and a runners-up finish within the 2023 50-over World Cup at home after a 10-match win streak. He has won 42 out of 56 matches he has led India in ODI, losing just 12, tying one, and one being a no result.
The Hitman throughout the 50-over World Cups hits otherwise, literally. There are only a few batters as threatening as Rohit during an ODI WC. He’s India’s third-highest and overall fourth-highest run-getter in WC history, with 1,575 runs in 28 matches at a mean of 60.57, seven centuries and 6 fifties. His best rating is 140. Rohit holds the record for essentially the most centuries during a single World Cup, scoring five throughout the 2019 World Cup within the UK, where he amassed a chart-topping 648 runs in nine matches with a mean of 81.00.
Within the very next World Cup at home, Rohit mixed consistency with attacking intent, being the second-highest run-getter with 597 runs in 11 matches at a mean of 54.27, striking at a ridiculous SR of over 125 with a century and three fifties.
