#1 Rohit Sharma
The Hitman of Indian cricket, opener Rohit Sharma is one of the sweetest timers of the ball in world cricket. His ability to effortlessly hit the ball makes him one of the most effective white-ball players in the world at the moment. In the past few years, Sharma has shown consistency to play match-winning roles for India at the top of the order.
Since 2015, Rohit has registered the highest number of sixes in ODI cricket. With three double-centuries in the 50-over format, he tends to hit more sixes than any other player in the world. Once set, it is nearly impossible to prevent him from getting a big score. His rate of acceleration to pace his innings sets him apart from the rest.
A lot will rest upon India’s vice-captain as the team will bank upon him to exploit the batting-friendly conditions to its full advantage at the start of the innings. It is for his ability to play cricket shots without much improvisation, Sharma can also end up being the highest six-hitter in this World Cup.
