Vintage Rohit Shines in Vizag
The landmark came during the 3rd ODI against South Africa, where Rohit played a classy knock of 75 off 73 balls. It was his fourth fifty-plus score in his last 6 ODI innings, proving once again that form and age don’t apply to him the same way they do to others.
Rohit’s career numbers speak for themselves
Across 505 international matches, Rohit has piled up 20,048 runs at an average of 42.47, striking at over 87. His remarkable tally features 50 centuries and 111 fifties.
Hitman’s most dominant format
Rohit’s ODI numbers are simply phenomenal, he amassed 11,516 runs in 279 matches at an average of 49.21 with a strike rate of 92.85 with 33 centuries and 61 fifties and highest score of 264 against Sri Lanka, which he scored in 2014.
Impact across formats
In T20Is, Rohit is the second-highest run-getter in history with 4,231 runs, five centuries and a blazing strike rate of nearly 141. In Tests, he has 4,301 runs, including 12 centuries, proving his adaptability across conditions and formats.
A strong 2025 ODI season
Rohit has been in tremendous 50-over form this year, scoring 650 runs in 14 innings at an average of 50 and a strike rate above 100, including two hundreds and four fifties.
A legacy that keeps growing
With over 20,000 runs to his name and plenty of cricket still ahead, Rohit Sharma’s legacy continues to grow. This milestone is just another reminder of why the Hitman remains one of India’s all-time greats and still has more chapters left to write.
