5 best T20I innings from Rohit Sharma 

#3. 100 of 56 vs England in 2018

Rohit Sharma scored his second T20I ton against England.

Rohit Sharma produced one of the best T20 international knocks in the third T20 international between India and England in 2018. In the series decider, India won the toss and put England in to bat first.

On the back of Jason Roy's quick-fire 67 off 31, the hosts posted a great total of 198. Hardik Pandya starred with the ball for India and took four wickets in his four overs.

In order to seal the series, India needed a good start. They, however, lost Dhawan (5) and KL Rahul (19) inside the powerplay. Rohit, on the other hand, stood firm and didn't allow England to take control of the game.

Once the Mumbai born-lad found his mojo against the short deliveries, there was no stopping him. In 56 balls, Sharma managed to score an unbeaten 100-run knock and guided his side home with eight balls remaining. Rohit Sharma hit 11 fours and five sixes during his knock and played at a strike rate of 178.57.

In his typical yet imposing fashion, Rohit Sharma hammered his second T20I ton of 2018 in a three-match T20I series against West Indies.

The toss was the only thing that went in the visitors' favour in Lucknow. After the Windies won the flip of the coin, they asked India to bat first. In the first three overs, the hosts were cautious, scoring only 11 runs.

However, from there on, Rohit led India's charge and clobbered eight boundaries and as many as seven maximums. The right-hander had little trouble clearing the long boundaries at the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Stadium.

The skipper completed a well-deserved century off just 58 deliveries by whacking Carlos Brathwaite for successive fours in the last over. With Rohit's 111, India posted 195-2 in the first innings.

West Indies were never in the hunt for 196. No Windies batter scored more than 23 runs, as the Carlos Braithwaite-led side kept losing wickets at regular intervals. India restricted the Caribbean unit to just 124-9 and won the game by 71 runs.

#1. 118 vs Sri Lanka in 2017

Rohit Sharma has registered his highest individual score in both ODI and T20I against Sri Lanka. Interestingly, both of those scores came during the same tour when Sri Lanka visited India in 2017.

After three tests and as many ODIs, the two teams were set to battle in a 3-match T20I series. India won the first T20I comprehensively in Cuttack. In search of the series win, India batted first in the second T20I in Indore.

The Indian openers, Rohit and KL Rahul, stepped onto the field and wreaked havoc at the Holkar Stadium. The two were involved in a historic 165-run stand. While Rahul, who scored 89 off 49 was impressive, Rohit was batting at a different level altogether.

Sharma came out all guns blazing with the intention of sending almost every ball out of the park. Striking at 274.42, Rohit Sharma scored 118 runs in just 43 balls, a knock which was laced with 12 fours and ten sixes. The Hitman reached his century in just 35 balls - the joint-fastest by any batter in T20Is.

With two explosive innings from two explosive openers, India posted a gigantic total of 260-5 in their 20 overs. This was India's highest team score in their T20I history.

While the chase seemed impossible for the visitors, they did well to stay in the game in the first 13 overs of their chase. However, a batting collapse saw them lose nine wickets inside just 27 runs. In the end, India won the game by 88 runs while Rohit was adjudged the Player of the Match for his swashbuckling innings.
