Rohit holds the record for the highest individual score in ODIs. He had surpassed the mark against Sri Lanka when he smashed 264 runs in Kolkata in 2014. Rohit, who captains Mumbai Indians, is the most successful captain in the Indian Premier League (IPL). He has led the Mumbai-based franchise to four IPL titles.

In the 2019 World Cup, Rohit went on to amass as many as five centuries and finished the tournament as the leading run-scorer. He is also one of the three Indian batsmen who have scored a century in Tests, ODIs, and T20Is. Suresh Raina and KL Rahul are the other two Indian batsmen who have achieved this feat in international cricket.
