Rohit ended India’s ICC title drought and led the team to victory in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. Also, it was under his leadership that the team reached to the finals of the 2023 ICC World Cup without losing a single match in the league stage. as well as the semi-final against New Zealand.

Rohit, with his selfless approach, has changed the dynamics of the way the Indian national cricket team has been playing the game. He has led from the front and shown his team how to play. Although he has struggled in Tests of late, he is a completely different batsman when it comes to ODIs.

Rohit is currently the No. 2 ranked batsman in the ICC ODI rankings. The batsman would hope to answer all the criticism in what will be a big white-ball season. He would like to replicate what he did in the T20 World Cup last year and help the team win the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
