His trophy cabinet is just as impressive. Rohit has lifted two ICC Champions Trophy titles and two T20 World Cup crowns, with one of those wins coming in his role as captain.
When it comes to T20 Internationals, Rohit remains India’s leading run-scorer in the format. He finished with 4,231 runs from 159 matches, averaging 32.89 and striking at nearly 141, including five centuries and 32 fifties. After India’s T20 World Cup triumph in 2024, he retired from the T20I format.
In Tests, Rohit also left a significant mark. He appeared in 67 matches, scoring 4,301 runs at an average of 40.57, with 12 centuries and 18 fifties. His highest Test score stands at 212.
In ODIs, Rohit has continued to operate as an elite option, with the 2027 World Cup in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia in view. Across 282 ODIs, he has made 11,577 runs at 48.84, striking at 92.74, including 33 centuries and 61 fifties. He also owns three ODI double centuries, the most by any batter, and his 264 is the highest individual score in the IPL.
Rohit’s standing in franchise cricket matches his international stature. He is the second-highest run-getter in IPL history, having scored 7,267 runs in 277 appearances at an average of 30.15 and a strike rate of over 133. His IPL career includes two centuries and 49 fifties, underlining his consistency over multiple seasons.
As a captain, Rohit has delivered major silverware for Mumbai Indians as well, winning five IPL titles from the leadership role with MI. That success has helped cement him as one of the franchise’s defining figures.
Outside the numbers, Rohit is also recognised for his energy and personality. Known for lively banter on the field and a genuinely fun-loving approach, his comments have frequently been picked up by stump microphones—making him nearly as viral for his humour as for his batting.
