4) Outstanding Record As An Opener
Way back in 2007, the Mumbaikar had made his debut because of his tremendous performance in the domestic circuit. His perfect timing along with a superb balance was enough to provide him with the World T20 ticket to South Africa that year. After India’s surprising victory in the 2007 World T20, Rohit started lacking in his consistency that kept him in and out of the squad.
The biggest turnaround for him took place in the Champions Trophy 2013 where he alongside Shikhar Dhawan opened the innings and gave India some terrific starts. Since that day, the batting star did not look back and is performing well in all three formats of the game. From 2013 till now, he has an impressive record with 3153 runs in 67 matches at an average of 54 in ODIs and scored 8 centuries that included 2 double-centuries as well. Just like the Indian team, he needs to open the innings for Mumbai Indians too.
