India’s all-format captain and right-handed batsman is Rohit Sharma. He made his debut in international cricket in 2007, making an impression in his year’s first notable appearance, the ICC T20 World Cup 2007. He has since become one of the sport’s most lethal willow users. He has 9.825 runs at an average of 48.63 in 243 ODIs. In the format, he has 30 centuries and 48 fifties, with a top score of 264.
He is also the only batsman in ODI cricket to have recorded three double centuries. At the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 in England, where he topped the run charts with 648 runs at an average of 81.00 in nine matches with five hundred and fifty, his white-ball brilliance was at its height. The only player to ever register five hundred runs during a single World Cup match is Rohit Sharma. In ODI cricket, he is the third-fastest player to 9,000 runs, having done it in just 217 innings. He also reached 8,000 runs in ODI (200 innings) and 7,000 runs in ODI (181 innings), the fourth quickest.
In T20I matches, he has scored 3,853 runs at an incredible average of 31.32 and a strike rate of 139.24. He was a member of the Indian T20 World Cup-winning squad in 2007. He has a total of 17,057 runs at an average of 42.74 in international cricket. He ranks sixth all-time for India in terms of runs scored, trailing only MS Dhoni (17,092), Sourav Ganguly (18,433), Rahul Dravid (24,064), Virat Kohli (25,322), and Sachin Tendulkar (34,357). He is the 29th-highest run-scorer in international cricket. With his leadership abilities, he has had an effect on T20 cricket, leading the Mumbai Indians to five IPL championships.
Mithali Raj has praised Ajinkya Rahane for his “reinvented” style and altered strategy to work in the T20 format. Rahane amassed 209 runs in five innings at the midway point of the IPL 2023, averaging 52.25. The most expensive players in the IPL 2023 auction were Sam Curran and Cameron Green, with Curran hitting 142 runs in seven games and Green amassing 199 runs by mid-IPL 2023. The most influential foreign bowlers in IPL 2023 are Sam Curran, Cameron Green, Ajinkya Rahane, Mohit Sharma, Piyush Chawla, and Mayank Markande. Five wickets apiece have been taken by Curran and Green, whose respective economies are 8.9 and 10.5.
Hardik Pandya has relied on Mohit Sharma as a go-to bowler, and the Mumbai Indians have relied on Piyush Chawla as a go-to bowler. In IPL 2023, the players that perform best for their side while costing the least are the most significant.
