Rohit Sharma started his career way back in 2007. He was
part of the 2007 t-20 world cup winning team. Virat Kohli in 2007 was just an
under 19 player and only in 2008, he captained India in U-19 world cup. Ajinkya
Rahane had not even made his ranji trophy debut until 2007 (He made his Ranji
Trophy debut for his first-class side Mumbai in the 2007/2008 season).
Today, both Kohli and Rahane are part of Indian test team
and Rohit Sharma is the most talented batsman in making.
Rohit Sharma’s Test and ODI records seems to be good at one
glance with both average around 40 as a batsman.
Test Matches
Out of the 9 matches he has played 2 has been in India. If those
2 are not considered then his batting average outside India is just 20 with a
highest score of 72.
Outside India
9 is just a sample size. Let us consider his ODI records. He has played 126 ODI matches with a batting
average of 37.89 which is decent.
He has decent record against most of the countries except
South Africa (Ignoring Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Ireland and Hong Kong). He
averages 39.24
In India, he has scored 2 double centuries and therefore his
records in India are amazing. He has scored 1443 runs in 28 matches at an
average of 65.59
Outside India he has done well in West Indies & Zimbabwe
with over 50 + averages along with 2 centuries in West Indies
Outside India he has scored 2309 runs at an average of
29.98. If West Indies and Zimbabwe are not considered this averages dip below
24
These numbers just indicate that Mr. Talent is awesome on
Indian Pitches, but outside India he lacks the talent!
