Today marks the birthday of former Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma. Known globally in the cricketing world as the 'Hitman,' Rohit is celebrating his 39th birthday.
Born in 1987, Rohit is receiving birthday wishes from people across the country and around the world on this special occasion. Fans are showering praise on his cricketing career and his immense contributions to the sport. A right-handed batsman, Rohit has set records in international cricket that appear nearly impossible for any other player to break. On his birthday, let's take a look at some of Rohit's unbreakable records.
Rohit Sharma's Unbroken Records: The Hitman's Unbreakable Feats
1. The Highest Individual Score in ODI History: 264
In 2014, playing against Sri Lanka, Rohit Sharma smashed 264 runs off 173 balls, setting the record for the highest individual score in the history of ODI cricket. During this innings, he struck a staggering 42 boundaries.
2. Three Double Centuries in ODIs: The Only Batsman in the World to Achieve This
While other players often yearn just to score a single double century, Rohit Sharma has crossed the 200-run mark in ODIs on three separate occasions. Rohit scored an unbeaten 209 against Australia in Bengaluru; played his monumental innings of 264 against Sri Lanka in Kolkata; and scored 208 runs—again against Sri Lanka—in Mohali.
3. Most Centuries in a Single World Cup Edition
During the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019, Rohit Sharma hammered 5 centuries across just 9 innings—a record for the highest number of centuries scored by any player in a single edition of the tournament. Furthermore, he holds the distinction of having a total of 7 World Cup centuries to his name.
4. Two ICC Trophies as Captain in a Single Year
Rohit is not merely a batsman; he is also a highly successful captain. Under his leadership, India won the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 and subsequently claimed the title of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. By winning two ICC titles within a span of just 12 months, he achieved this remarkable feat.
5. Most Sixes in International Cricket
Rohit didn't earn the nickname 'Hitman' without good reason. He holds the record for hitting the most sixes in international cricket (637); in this regard, he has even surpassed Chris Gayle. Not only for sixes, but Rohit is also the leading run-scorer in T20I matches.
He has scored 4,231 runs in T20Is. Rohit is the only batsman in the world to have completed a century of sixes across all three formats of the game. During his record-breaking innings of 264 runs, Rohit struck 33 fours—the highest number in a single ODI innings.
