Rajaneesh Gupta lists the amazing numbers that make Rohit Sharma one of the finest ODI batters of his time.
Rohit Sharma was replaced as India's ODI captain on Saturday, as the BCCI announced the squads for India's upcoming white ball tour of Australia, starting October 19.
Rohit led the team in 56 matches and won 42 of them, that is a win percentage of 76.36, only behind the great West Indian Clive Lloyd (76.11).
Rohit's win percentage is also the best among Indian captains who have led India in more than 50 matches.
Rohit's impact in One-day Internationals is unmatched. He holds the world record for the highest individual score in an ODI, smashing 264 runs against Sri Lanka in 2014 in Kolkata and has the most double centuries than anyone else in world cricket.
