Indian opener Rohit is known for scoring daddy hundreds in ODI cricket. He has the most 150+ scores in ODI cricket history. He also has the most international centuries in T20I cricket. The Indian vice-captain also has a triple century in first-class cricket, which he amassed in the 2009 Ranji Trophy.
