Farewell To A Legend: Highlighting Rohit Sharma's Record-Breaking Journey As India's Test Captain

Rohit Sharma announced his retirement from the longest format of the game. He will only feature in ODI cricket for Team India for from now.

Let's take a look at the records attained by the Hitman over the years.

Rohit Sharma scored 177 against West Indies in November 2013, marking one of the highest scores by an Indian on Test debut.

The former Indian skipper attained 30 consecutive innings with double-digit scores, breaking Mahela Jayawardene's previous record of 29.

In Rohit's debut as an opener against South Africa in 2019, he scored centuries in both innings of the Vizag Test, making him the first Indian to do so.

Rohit hit 13 sixes (6 in the first innings and 7 in the second) in the Vizag Test against South Africa in 2019, the most by any Indian in a single Test match.

The Hitman has a batting average of 97.45 in Tests played in India, placing him among the top three players with at least 1,000 runs on home soil.

Rohit Sharma became India's leading run scorer in the World Cup, helping the team reach the finals in both 2021 and 2023.

As captain from 2022 to 2024, Rohit Sharma led India in 24 Tests, securing 12 victories.

Rohit Sharma's evolution to Test opener and his leadership qualities have been critical to India's recent success in this format.
