3.) 50 off 40 balls against South Africa at Durban, September 20, 2007 (World T20)
After a heartbreaking defeat in 2007 ODI World cup, India participated as an underdog in the first ever T20 world cup with the young team and it was the first time when everyone got to know about Rohit Sharma. Rohit made his debut in the match against England but due to Yuvraj’s heroics, he didn’t get a chance to bat.
There was so much talk about Rohit Sharma and everyone was excited to see him bat and his batting debut came at the right time. The Indian team was struggling after the early blows and Rohit stepped in and played a calculated knock of 50. Even though 50 off 40 balls doesn’t really define Rohit’s skills but his temperament put India in the solid situation and India won the match by 37 runs.
4.) 118 off 43 balls against Sri Lanka at Indore, December 22, 2017
Rohit Sharma was the stand-in captain in the T20I series against Sri Lanka due to the absence of Virat Kohli and he made the most of this opportunity. In the second T20I at Indore, Rohit blasted his way to the century in just 35 balls and leveled David Miller’s record of fastest century in T20 Internationals.
He was hitting so brutally that once a double hundred in the T20Is was looking possible, though it didn’t happen; one can only make these kinds of unreal speculations when the HITMAN is batting. Rohit smashed 10 sixes and 12 fours in his sensational inning.
