Rohit Sharma, the name synonymous with elegant strokeplay and brutal power, has cemented himself as a legend in white-ball cricket. While his exploits in ODIs are well documented, his impact in the shortest format, especially T20 Internationals, is remarkable as well.
This article delves into Rohit’s dominance in T20Is, highlighting his biggest achievements and the list of centuries he’s piled up in the T20I format so far. Rohit’s batting in T20 cricket is a masterclass in calculated aggression. He possesses the uncanny ability to switch gears – from watchful accumulator to six-hitting machine – at will.
This adaptability makes him a nightmare for bowlers, especially at the top of the order. He currently holds the record for the most centuries (5) (last updated 29th June 2024) by a batsman in T20 internationals, a testament to his consistent ability to convert fifties into big scores. Rohit Sharma’s first T20I century came in 2015 against South Africa and last was in 2024.
