Rohit is India's top T20I run-getter, with 4,231 runs in 159 matches at an average of 32.89, a strike rate of almost 141, including five centuries and 32 fifties. He retired from the format after the T20WC title win in 2024.
India's six-hitting machine also played 67 Tests, scoring 4,301 runs at an average of 40.57, including 12 centuries and 18 fifties, with a best score of 212.
As an ODI exclusive player, with an eye on the 2027 World Cup in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia, he has been going strong in terms of performance and a commendable fitness transformation.
