Career overview
How the India career developed.
This overview connects role, debuts and format context using the dated records listed below.
Rohit Sharma made his ODI debut in June 2007 and later established himself as an opening batter with a rare record of converting long limited-overs innings. His ODI career includes three double-centuries and the format’s highest individual score, 264.
His Test career began in November 2013 and grew after a move to the top of the order. He later captained India and led the side to the 2024 T20 World Cup title before retiring from T20 internationals.
Rohit’s format records are deliberately separated: 4,301 Test runs, 11,895 ODI runs and 4,231 T20I runs through the dates shown in the table. That prevents his active ODI record from being mixed with formats he has left.

International statistics
Tests, ODIs and T20Is separated.
Career totals use the latest match date shown by the checked player record. Formats may have different snapshot dates.
| Format | Matches | Runs | 100s | 50s | Wickets | Through |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tests | 67 | 4,301 | 12 | 18 | 2 | 26 Dec 2024 |
| ODIs | 288 | 11,895 | 34 | 62 | 9 | 19 Jul 2026 |
| T20Is | 159 | 4,231 | 5 | 32 | 1 | 29 Jun 2024 |
These are format-specific snapshots, not one combined career number. A format without a debut is stated plainly instead of displaying a misleading zero-match career.
