#1 Rohit Sharma
Rohit Sharma started his career as a middle-order batsman. However, after some inconsistent performance in the middle-order, Rohit was asked to open the innings in the 2013 Champions Trophy and that proved to be the turning point of his career.
Rohit has played some mind-blowing innings for Team India and cemented his place as an opener in the side. When in full flow Rohit can annihilate any bowling attack in the world.
Rohit is the only player in the world to score three double centuries which shows his appetite to play big innings. His special ability to score big hundreds makes him the most destructive opening batsman in the world.
