3) Rohit Sharma

Rohit Sharma

When it comes to the limited overs, there is no stopping 'Hitman' Rohit Sharma. The Mumbaikar was ruthless as usual at the top of the order for the Men in Blue apart from leading the side occasionally in Virat Kohli's absence.

In fact, Rohit has been immensely successful as the Indian skipper having won the Nidahas Trophy, the coveted 2018 Asia Cup and a whitewash against West Indies in the T20I series this year.

In fact, Rohit was praised for his leadership skills during the continental tournament where the Men in Blue successfully defended their title at Dubai. Rohit finished 2018 as the second highest run-getter with 1030 runs in 19 matches (includes three half-centuries and five centuries) at an average of 73.57, with his highest score being 162.

The man who holds the record for the most number of T20I centuries (four centuries in T20Is) amassed 590 runs in 19 matches at a strike-rate of 147.50 thereby finishing as the second highest run-getter in T20Is this year.
