#2. Rohit Sharma

Rohit Sharma has been consistent in ODI cricket

One of the world's most destructive batsmen in the ODI format, Rohit Sharma has evolved as a senior pro to shoulder more responsibility at the highest level.

Ever since he was promoted as an opener in the 2013 Champions Trophy, Rohit's career has taken a U-turn. His exploits as an opener are second to none since 2013.

The Hit-man, as he is often called, has piled up runs for fun in past few years. He also boasts of being the only player to score three double centuries in ODI cricket.

Rohit's ability to score daddy hundreds has already seen him climb up the list of the greatest ODI batsmen of all time. Ranked No. 2 in the ODI rankings, Rohit has scored 1030 runs at a staggering average of 73 in 2018.
