“Don’t change the channel when Rohit Sharma walks out to bat, because, by the time you change it back, he‘d be long gone” – Ravi Shastri comments on Ro’hit’ Sharma.

Hitman, he’s called and rightly so. In the last decade or so there is no one close to Rohit Sharma when it comes to hitting capabilities. When he gets going, he is definitely a nightmare for the bowlers. And what a match-winner Rohit Sharma has proved to be! Along with Shikhar Dhawan and Virat Kohli, Sharma has won many matches for India.

If one decides to list down glorious achievements in Sharma’s career, his performance in the ICC 2019 Cricket World Cup will definitely be written in golden words. He scored 5 centuries in a single World Cup, and now he jointly holds the record for most centuries in the world cups with the Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar.

As they say, any man’s greatness has to be appended with his deeds. Let’s get the motley facts of Rohit Sharma’s achievements together under the umbrella of his centuries in International cricket.

Rohit Sharma in ODIs

Three double centuries to begin with! A format where batsmen cherish scoring a century, Rohit Sharma has elevated that benchmark to double-century. And that is why he is the most dangerous player when he settles down.

Rohit made his debut in ODI cricket in India vs Ireland on 23rd June 2007. Till date, Rohit has played 218 ODIS and is also the vice-captain of team India. As the captain in Virat Kohli’s absence, Rohit Sharma led India to the Asia Cup title in 2018.

All the regular players had been rested for this particular triangular series between India, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe.

Highest ODI score

On 13th November 2014, the crowd at Eden Gardens, Kolkata witnessed what we can say a carnage from Rohit Sharma. In the 4th ODI against Sri Lanka, Rohit Sharma plundered the Sri Lankan bowling unit and scored 264 runs in 173 balls.

His inning included 33 fours and 9 sixes! And what if I say that the entire Sri Lankan team were bowled out at a score less than Rohit’s score? Yes! Sri Lanka were bowled out at 251; thirteen runs short of that match’s top scorer, Rohit Sharma.

Rohit Sharma debuted against the West Indies on November 6, 2013, at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata. And what a mighty debut it was. With all the top-order batsman falling prey to West Indies spin attack, Rohit took the fight head-on scoring 177 in his debut match. He along with Ravichandran Ashwin added 280 runs for the seventh wicket.

At one stage India were tottering at 156 for 6, credits to Sharma and Ashwin, India reached a mammoth total of 453. West Indies never really came back in the game. He was awarded the Man of the Match for his performance.

His second test century came in the very same series, but it was quite an emotional one. The match saw the God of cricket, Sachin Tendulkar bid adieu to international cricket. It brought generations together on the TV screens that day and thus Rohit’s century in that test was a very fine memory for him as well as all the Indians.

Though he never got to bat in that game, the show was completely stolen by Yuvraj Singh who hit Stuart Broad for six sixes in an over. In the very next match against South Africa, Sharma scored an unbeaten 50 to steer India to 153.
