The Mumbaikar had endured a patchy career in the initial phases of his cricketing adventure. After bursting onto the scene as a precocious talent in the ICC World T20 in 2007, Rohit produced some sub-standard showings to leave himself with a middling average.

However, MS Dhoni’s decision to promote him to the top of the order in 2013 worked a charm and transformed Rohit into one of the best batsmen on the planet.

Currently, the opener averages 48.05 in ODI cricket with 22 centuries to his name. Astoundingly, all of those hundreds have come after the start of 2010. Additionally, in the past few years, Rohit has blazed his way to three ODI double hundreds with his highest score of 264 towering above everyone else’s top scores.

On his day, Rohit has the capability to annihilate any bowling attack and take the game away from the opponents in a trice. Yet, the opener still has a few question marks against the moving ball.

On pure talent, Rohit might have even been at the perch of our list but his slight inconsistency only gets him the No.4 spot on our list.
