Top 10 Rohit Sharma knocks in ODI cricket

#3 137 runs off 126 balls against Bangladesh, Melbourne, 2015

India v Bangladesh: Quarter Final - 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup

India had made its way to the World Cup quarter-finals but was struggling at 115-3 after 28 overs against Bangladesh. Suesh Raina joined Sharma and the duo put together India's most crucial partnership of the tournament by adding 122 runs in 15 overs.

Rohit fought his way to his 7th ODI century under a pretty tough situation and against fully pumped-up spirited Bangladeshi team. They gave their absolute best in the field and made India work hard for every single run in their innings. India needed someone to bat through the innings and lead them to a decent total. Rohit took the responsibility and helped India reach 302, that sufficed as Bangladesh fell way short and India grabbed a place in the final four of the World Cup.

#2 122* runs off 144 balls against South Africa, Southampton, 2019

South Africa v India - ICC Cricket World Cup 2019

No major hitting, no firepower, this was the slowest ODI century of Rohit's career and yet it will go down as one of the best knocks played by him. South Africa had Rabada and Morris charging in and with the pitch spitting venom, batting was becoming increasingly difficult early on. What made it even more special was the fact that Shikhar Dhawan and Virat Kohli had both returned to the hut and India needed something special.

In such circumstances, Rohit Sharma stepped up and formed critical partnerships with Rahul and Dhoni and played one of the most mature knocks of his career. He played the anchor role and batted through the innings to kick-off India's World Cup campaign in the most professional manner.

He hit 13 fours and just two sixes which indicated the fact that his focus was more on getting India to a respectable total than smack the ball around and risk losing his wicket.
