Rohit Sharma Centuries – A Record-Breaking Journey Across Formats

By February 2025, he has accumulated 49 international centuries—32 in ODIs, 12 in Tests, and 5 in T20 Internationals. Known for his elegant stroke play and unmatched ability to pace an innings, Rohit has repeatedly turned promising starts into match-defining knocks. His centuries often combine patience, precision, and power, making him a formidable opponent across all formats.

In the traditional format, Rohit has 12 centuries from 67 matches, amassing 4,301 runs at an average of 40.57. His Test career began in style with a superb 177 on debut, quickly followed by another century in his second match. A turning point came in 2019 when he was promoted to open the batting, leading to a remarkable series against South Africa where he struck multiple centuries, including his career-best 212 in Ranchi. His Test hundreds have been a mix of gritty, long-haul innings and aggressive, momentum-shifting knocks, proving his adaptability in varied conditions.
