Rohit Sharma was appointed India's white-ball skipper last year and then took over reins in the longest format this year after Virat Kohli stepped down as the Test skipper.
The 35-year-old holds the record for registering highest individual score in ODIs after playing a knock of 264 against Sri Lanka at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata.
Rohit's first double ton in ODIs came against Australia in 2013. He then later scored two more against Sri Lanka. Rohit is also the first batter to hit five centuries in a single World Cup, achieving the feat in 2019 where India made it to the semi-finals.
