Best Indian ODI XI comprising of players from Mumbai 

2. Rohit Sharma

Rohit Sharma

Rohit Sharma is at present one of the best openers in one-day international cricket. The immensely talented right-hander is a free-flowing stroke-maker who makes batting look effortless with his sublime timings and elegant stroke play. Once Sharma gets his eye in, he can produce some scintillating knocks courtesy his magnificent range of shots to all corners of the park. Sharma has built a reputation for scoring some daddy tons and turning around games with his batting heroics.

The ‘Hitman’ of Indian cricket has scored a record three double tons in ODIs and has the maximum 150 plus scores in the shorter format. Over the past five seasons, Sharma has formed a lethal opening duo with Shikhar Dhawan which has become the backbone of Indian batting. Along with skipper Virat Kohli, Rohit has been India’s most prolific run-getter in ODI cricket.

With over 7000 ODI runs in his kitty, Sharma is the third most successful right-handed opener after Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag in Indian cricket. Sharma has also shown his ability as a keen student of the game and has always delivered the goods whenever he led the Indian side in the absence of Virat Kohli.
