Top 10 Indian cricket moments in 2017

India v Pakistan - ICC Champions Trophy Final

Ro ‘Hitman’ Sharma

<p>

Rohit Sharma became the captain of the Indian team in the absence of Virat Kohli for the limited-overs leg of the Sri Lanka series. The opening match at Dharamsala proved a disaster for him both as a player and as a captain. Rohit departed for 2 runs as India were bowled out for 112 and suffered a crushing defeat.

However, he came back in the next match in his trademark style, piling up his 3rd double century in ODIs. His unbeaten 208 powered India to 394 and they went on to win the match by a healthy 141-run margin.

Rohit had already scored two double centuries in ODIs prior to this knock - 264 against Sri Lanka and 209 against Australia.
