1. Joint-Most IPL Wins as the Captain

Rohit Sharma has led the Mumbai Indians (MI) to five championship victories in the Indian Premier League (IPL), i.e. in 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2020. He equals the record set by MS Dhoni for lifting the most IPL trophies as the captain of a franchise.

2. Most Double Centuries in ODIs

Rohit Sharma has hit three double centuries in One Day Internationals (ODIs), twice against Sri Lanka and once against Afghanistan. It's a remarkable record considering that besides the India captain, none of the other players have even breached the 200-run mark twice.

3. Highest Individual Score in ODI Cricket

Rohit's knock of 264 against Sri Lanka at the Eden Gardens in November 2014 is till date the highest individual score scaled by a batter in 50-overs international cricket. It was his second double ton in the ODI format, and two within the span of a year.

4. Most Sixes in T20IsĀ 

Rohit has been a renowned power hitter and that shows with the fact that he is the player to have hit the most sixes in T20Is (190). He beats New Zealand batter Martin Guptill (173) to top this list and is set to add more to this tally when the MI player leads India in the T20 World Cup later in June.

5. Most 100s in a Tournament

Rohit Sharma had an all-time great run in the ICC Men's ODI World Cup that was held in England in 2019. He had slammed five centuries at an average and strike rate of 81 and 98.33 respectively, totalling 648 runs across nine matches for Team India.
