The Hitman will partner Warner in his elite line-up. Unlike his Australian counterpart, Rohit Sharma wasn’t a natural opener but emerged into one. After playing nearly 100 ODIs in the middle-order, Rohit became India’s opener in white-ball cricket in 2013, and we know what happened next. The right-handed batsman became a nightmare for opposition teams with his knack of playing marathon knocks.

Rohit scored runs all over the world and shattered many records. In fact, he’s the only player to have three ODI double centuries and four T20I tons under his belt. Seeing his stellar success in white-ball cricket, the Mumbai-born cricketer became India’s Test opener in 2019, and he didn’t take long to make a mark.

Facing South Africa’s potent bowling attack, Rohit scored twin centuries in his first Test as an opener. He also went onto score a double hundred in that series. Since then, he has been delivering consistently across formats. Sharma even played a key role in taking India to Test series win over Australia and England earlier this year.
