India has been the most consistent team in ICC tournaments in ODI format since 2013. Having won the 2013 Champions Trophy (CT), India qualified for the semi-finals in the Cricket World Cup 2015 and lost the finals against Pakistan in CT 2017. India's success was mainly due to India's top 3.

Although Shikhar Dhawan has top-scored for India in all those tournaments, Rohit Sharma has played crucial knocks in each of the tournament. With some consistent scores of 50, 2013 CT saw the birth Rohit 2.0.

His match-winning 137 against Bangladesh in the quarterfinal of the CWC 2015, was a coming of age innings. He again played a crucial part in India's journey to CT 2017 finals scoring 304 in 5 matches.

Statistics show that Rohit has fared better than Kohli in ICC tournaments with more runs, the 50s, and 100s than his skipper which showcases his big match temperament.
