The year 2025 turned out to be such a chapter in Rohit Sharma’s career, which Indian cricket fans will remember for a long time. At the beginning of the year, when Rohit said goodbye to Test cricket, it seemed that perhaps now the impact of Hitman will be less. However, what happened after this proved that Rohit Sharma is still the biggest player in big matches.
The decision to retire from Test cricket was not easy, but Rohit himself made it clear that he now wants to focus completely on limited overs cricket. This decision also proved to be right, because his bat kept on fire throughout the year in ODI cricket. Big bowlers looked helpless in front of him and records kept breaking one after the other.
Captain Rohit shines in ICC Trophy
In the 2025 Champions Trophy, Rohit Sharma once again proved that he is not only a great batsman but also an excellent captain. His strategy and experience were clearly visible in helping India win the trophy. His captaincy innings of 76 runs in the final match put the team in a strong position and India won the ICC title. With this victory, Rohit’s name became one of the few captains after Dhoni who have won more than one ICC trophy.
Rain of records in ODI cricket
Rohit Sharma’s focus was clearly visible throughout the year, big runs and big innings. He scored centuries against strong teams like Australia and South Africa. Completing 50 centuries in international cricket is like a dream. Rohit also achieved this feat as an Indian batsman after Sachin and Virat. Not only this, Rohit Sharma also became the batsman who scored the most ODI centuries on Australian soil. By scoring 6 centuries, Rohit went ahead of even the greats like Kohli and Sangakkara.
In the matter of sixes also, he created a new history and left Pakistan’s Shahid Afridi behind. He has a record of hitting 355 sixes in international cricket.
Dominance remained in IPL 2025 also
Along with international cricket, Rohit Sharma’s name remained in discussion in IPL 2025 also. By crossing the 7,000 run mark, he included himself among the most successful batsmen of the league after Virat Kohli. Apart from this, by completing 300 sixes, he also made his special place in IPL history.
Gave a befitting reply to critics
At the beginning of the year, questions were raised regarding age and form, but by the end of 2025, Rohit Sharma answered every question with his performance. Even after his departure from Test, he showed that the era of Hitman is not over yet. Overall, 2025 was a year in Rohit Sharma’s career, where he proved that class and experience never get old.
