6 players who scored the most ODI hundreds in a calendar year

#4 Rohit Sharma

Elegance personified

Rohit Sharma has been one of the best ODI batsmen in the world in the last few years. His stats are comparable with Virat Kohli's statistics in recent years. He has become a highly consistent performer ever since he started opening innings for the team.

He has an astounding average of 54.75 as an opener which is highest among openers of all times. He recently completed 7000 ODI runs and looks set to pile up many more runs in the future.

He was in imperious form in 2017 as he scored 1293 runs in just 21 matches and was the second-highest run-scorer behind Virat Kohli. He also hit 6 ODI centuries last year.
