Rohit Sharma celebrates his birthday, we look back at the legendary records of India’s 'Hitman' that may never be broken. From his three double-centuries in ODIs to leading India to a World Cup final as captain, Rohit’s career is filled with milestones that cement his place among cricket’s all-time greats.
1. Most Double Centuries in ODI History (3) – A Record That Stands Alone
-
264 vs SL (2014) – Highest Individual ODI Score
-
209 vs AUS (2013)
-
*208* vs SL (2017)*
Why Unbreakable? No other batter has more than one double-century in ODIs.
Fun Fact: His 264 is 51 runs ahead of the next highest score (Martin Guptill’s 237*).
2. Fastest T20I Century (35 Balls) – A Demolition of Sri Lanka
-
118 (43) vs SL, 2017 – Smashed 12 fours and 10 sixes
Why Unbreakable? Even in the T20 era, no one has come close (next best: David Miller – 35 balls).
3. Most Sixes in a Single ODI Innings (16) – The 264 Masterclass
-
16 sixes vs SL (2014) – A record that still gives bowlers nightmares.
Why Unbreakable? The next best is Eoin Morgan (15), but Rohit’s dominance remains untouched.
4. Only Player with 5 T20I Centuries – The T20 King
-
5 T20I tons (Next best: Glenn Maxwell & Suryakumar Yadav – 4 each)
Why Unbreakable? With T20Is becoming more competitive, matching this will be tough.
5. Most Runs in a Single ODI World Cup (2019) – 648 Runs
-
5 centuries in WC 2019 – A tournament for the ages.
Why Unbreakable? Only Sachin (673 in 2003) has more, but Rohit’s 5 tons in one WC is unmatched.
Bonus: Rohit’s Captaincy Feats
-
Most T20I Wins as Captain (42+)
-
Led India to 2023 ODI WC Final (Unbeaten till final)
-
5 IPL Titles with MI – The most successful captain in league history.
Final Verdict: Why Rohit’s Records Will Stand the Test of Time
