Top 5 records achieved by Rohit Sharma in 2025

Rohit Sharma retired from Test cricket in May 2025.

Rohit Sharma’s performance in 2025 was fairly decent, marked by its own ups and downs. After a not-so-successful test series against Australia at the start of the year, the former Mumbai Indians captain guided the Indian team to the ICC Champions Trophy in March.

In May, he retired from Test cricket, bringing to a close a professional career that spanned 67 matches. During a three-match ODI series against Australia, Shubman Gill was given the captaincy of the Men in Blue. However, Sharma was named the Player of the Series against the Aussies.

The 38-year-old was also a crucial part of the ODI series against South Africa, and he’s currently playing in the 2025-26 Vijay Hazare Trophy. Thus, taking a look back at 2025, here are the top 5 records achieved by Rohit Sharma in 2025.

5. Became the player with the most sixes in ODI cricket

Rohit Sharma overtook former Pakistan all-rounder Shahid Afridi to become the player with the most sixes in ODI cricket. Afridi held the record for 15 years, scoring 351 sixes in 398 One Day Internationals.

Meanwhile, the former Mumbai Indians captain has smashed 355 sixes in only 279 matches. He’s also the only Indian player to have scored more than 300 sixes in ODI cricket.

4. Became the fourth captain in history to win Player of the Match in an ICC final

During the 2025 Champions Trophy final against New Zealand, Rohit’s innings of 76 runs off 83 balls, which included seven fours and three sixes, helped India win the match and seal the tournament title. Due to his stellar performance, Sharma was named the Player of the Match.

Before the former Mumbai Indians skipper, Clive Lloyd, for the West Indies (1975 ICC ODI World Cup), Ricky Ponting for Australia (2003 ICC ODI World Cup), and Mahendra Singh Dhoni for India (2011 ICC ODI World Cup) were awarded with the coveted prize in an ICC tournament final.

3. Became only the third Indian cricket player to score 50 international centuries

The former Mumbai Indians captain also became only the third Indian cricket player to have scored 50 international centuries.

Rohit completed the milestone against Australia in October 2025 during the final fixture of the three-match ODI series. No other batter has scored more than three hundreds against Australia in their home country.

The 38-year-old’s 121-run unbeaten knock against the Aussies helped the Men in Blue seal the victory by nine wickets. Only Indian legends Sachin Tendulkar (100) and Virat Kohli (84) have scored more centuries than Sharma.

2. Became the visiting player with the most ODI centuries in Australia

Sharma overtook countryman Virat Kohli and Sri Lanka icon Kumar Sangakkara to become the visiting player with the most ODI centuries in Australia.

He scored a century in the last match of the three-match ODI series in Australia in October 2025. Kohli and Sangakkara both scored five centuries each in one-day internationals.

The 38-year-old has scored 1530 runs with an average of 56.66 with a strike rate of 89.89 in 33 ODIs in Australia. In addition to his six centuries, Sharma has also scored five half-centuries.

1. Became the second Indian captain to win ICC titles in the ODI and T20I formats

Rohit Sharma became only the second Indian captain in Indian cricket history, after Mahendra Singh Dhoni, to win the ICC Champions Trophy and the T20 World Cup.

Sharma steered the Men in Blue to the T20 World Cup triumph in 2024 and the Champions Trophy title in 2025. Meanwhile, Dhoni guided the Indian cricket team to victory in the 2007 T20 World Cup, the 2011 ODI World Cup, and the 2013 Champions Trophy.
