50*(40) vs 🇿🇦
One of his most underrated knocks. A do-or-die game for India where they were reduced to 61/4. First-ever time he walked out to bat in a T20I and he scored a splendid fifty which helped India post 153 on board.
High pressure game. India were 87/3 with only MS Dhoni left to come. A young Rohit flourished at the SCG batting in tandem with the Master Blaster. India won comfortably by six wickets.

Chasing 185, India were 12/2 and constantly kept losing wickets. In a game where no top batsman managed to get to double figures, Rohit fought a lone battle against the mighty Aussies.

First series after the 2011 World Cup and Rohit Sharma rose to the occasion in the third ODI. Chasing 226 for victory, India were reduced to 92/6. Batting with the tailenders, Rohit took India to victory by three wickets.

Chasing 212, India were reduced to 59/5. Rohit Sharma single-handedly played a fine knock of 72 to bring the hosts really close to the total. India won by a wicket and an over to spare.
#13YearsOfHITMAN
Chasing a mammoth total of 360, Rohit amassed a magnificent hundred as he batted alongside Dhawan and Kohli. India registered their highest successful run-chase in ODIs and they won by a thumping nine-wicket margin.
#13YearsOfHITMAN
Series decider. Rohit went bonkers with the bat, especially in the last few overs. Call it stick cricket or Hitman at his absolute best with a then record 16 sixes in an innings. First double ton!
#13YearsOfHITMAN
A much awaited Test debut at Eden Gardens but better late than never. Receives his cap from Sachin Tendulkar. India reeling at 83/5. Not only does he slam a century on debut but also takes the hosts to a total in excess of 450.
#13YearsOfHITMAN
Walking out to bat in difficult conditions with India already 10/3. His stupendous batting helped India recover from the early slump. The visitors lost but not without a fight.
#13YearsOfHITMAN
An innings of 264 runs from just 173 balls on his comeback after more than two and a half months. 33 boundaries and 9 sixes. Extraordinary knock and probably the greatest we may ever witness in the near future.
#13YearsOfHITMAN
A magnificent century coming at a magnificent ground, MCG. Despite India being reduced to 59/3, Rohit continued to bat valiantly and helped India put up a respectable total on board.
#13YearsOfHITMAN
First-ever World Cup century. India seemed to be in a spot of bother with the score being 115/3 on a good MCG pitch. Rohit accelerated after his century and helped take the total in excess of 300. Man of the Match.
#13YearsOfHITMAN
Chasing a target above 300, Rohit Sharma not only laid the platform but brought India closer to victory with another daddy hundred. In the end, it was a matter of so near yet so far.
#13YearsOfHITMAN
Highest individual score by any cricketer against Australia in Australia. The last time India played at WACA. But it had become more of a batting friendly ground. Nevertheless another top knock for Rohit.
#13YearsOfHITMAN
Big game, semifinals of the Champions Trophy. 265 to chase, could've been a tricky total but Rohit's stupendous batting ensured India won it comfortably by nine wickets as he stayed unbeaten.
#13YearsOfHITMAN
A record third double century, first one as captain for Rohit. This time he carries the bat. India dominate with the bat as they put up a total of 392/4. For a change, Sri Lanka cross Rohit but still fall way behind India's total.
#13YearsOfHITMAN
A 35-ball hundred for Rohit, joint fastest record in T20 internationals. He got out after 12.4 overs which goes on to say that if he stayed till the end, Gayle's 175 record in T20s was in danger. That sort of a lightning knock.
#13YearsOfHITMAN
Series decider and a target of 199. Again Rohit Sharma stood out with the bat scoring a scintillating ton. His third in T20Is. Together, he and Pandya helped India through the finish line with an over to spare.
#13YearsOfHITMAN
Chasing 289 for victory at SCG, India are left reeling at 4/3. Rohit plays a brilliant knock and brings India closer to the target but falls. Fourth century for him in Australia, unfortunately all in vain.
