How did India perform in ODIs under Rohit Sharma's captaincy?

Ace cricketer Rohit Sharma has been removed from Team India's full-time ODI captaincy as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) recently announced Shubman Gill as Rohit's successor for the captaincy role. Rohit has been picked as an opening batter for the upcoming ODI series against Australia.

The 38-year-old has already retired from T20Is (after the victorious T20 World Cup 2024) and Tests (prior to the five-match England series earlier this year). This makes the 50-over format the only active one for Rohit.

Rohit's full-time role as ODI captain began in 2021 after he succeeded Virat Kohli. Rohit has led India in 56 ODIs. The team has won a whopping 42 matches, lost 12, had one match tied and a solitary game ruled out due to inclement weather. He ends his role as ODI captain with a win percentage of 75%. 

Rohit won several bilateral series as ODI skipper. He was a member of the team which won the 2013 Champions Trophy under MS Dhoni's captaincy. Rohit was the Men in Blue's second-leading top-scorer with 177 runs in five matches back then. Under his captaincy, India recently won the 2025 installment of the Champions Trophy. He played a captain's knock (76 off 83) in the final.

On many occasions, Rohit provided explosive starts at the top of the order. His ODI numbers in general are impeccable. Interestingly, Rohit's stats while batting as ODI captain have been more impressive. In 56 matches (55 innings), Rohit has scored 2506 runs while averaging 52.20 at a strike rate of 111.97 with five centuries and 17 fifties under his belt.
