From a quiet debut in 2007 to becoming one of the most feared openers in world cricket, Rohit Sharma’s story is one of patience, evolution, and dominance.
They called him talented once. Now, they call him legend.
Across 499 matches, Rohit hasn’t just scored 19,700 runs — he’s crafted moments that live forever. The serene pull shots, the effortless lofted drives, and that record-shattering 264 — the highest score ever in ODI history — each stroke is a signature of his class.
With 49 centuries and 108 fifties, Rohit turned promise into power. Four double hundreds, twelve 150+ scores — milestones that others dream of, he made routine. And when it comes to sending the ball into the stands, 637 sixes make him one of the cleanest strikers the game has seen.
But Rohit is more than his bat.
He’s a captain who leads with calm — 104 wins, 2 ICC trophies as skipper, 5 IPL titles as Mumbai Indians captain, and 2 Asia Cups won under his watch. Grace under pressure, vision in crunch moments — that’s Rohit Sharma’s brand of leadership.
