MUMBAI: As Team India captain Rohit Sharma turned 35 on Saturday, here's a trip down the memory lane to relive some of the achievements of the opening batsman who recently took over the reins of the Indian team from Virat Kohli.
Widely hailed as one of the best of his generation, Rohit continues to be a star batter for India, particularly in white-ball cricket.
Rohit made his international debut in 2007 against Ireland and went on to feature at the ICC Men's World T20 in South Africa in the same year, from where India returned home as champions. Since then, he has cemented his place among the greats of white-ball cricket.
Most hundreds in a World Cup
Rohit holds the record for smashing most centuries in a 50-over World Cup. He hit five centuries in nine matches India played at the 2019 ICC World Cup.
Rohit has scored 9283 runs in ODIs, 3137 in Tests and 3313 in T20 Internationals. He has so far smashed 41 international centuries, including eight in Tests, 29 in ODIs and four in T20 Internationals.
He is also the only player to score three double centuries in ODIs, scoring 264, 209 and 208 not out.
In the Indian Premier League, Rohit is the only IPL captain to have won the title five times. In second place is Chennai Super Kings' former skipper MS Dhoni with four titles.
