Good ODI batsman but he is also a bit lazy which means he hasnt worked on some of his flaws in technique. Credit to him that he has done well over the years in ODIs especially big tournaments. He can make it count once he gets set and make the opposition pay.

 

He will probably never find a place as a regular test batsman with Pujara, Kohli, Rahane and KL Rahul in batting lineup and perhaps Dhawan also as a backup and other young batsmen to follow. Had a good start to his test career but couldnt capitalize on whatever chances he got overseas.

Which big odi tournaments has he done well in over the years?

World Cup 2015 - 8 matches 330 runs at avg 48

Champions Trophy 2017 - 5 matches 304 runs at avg 76

CT 2013 - 5 matches 177 runs at avg 36 - pretty good because both him and Dhawan gave good starts.

 

Also done well in tri series in Australia. Dont remember which one.

TBH, Never thought it would come to this 

He has come a long way as an odi batsman though.

He becomes invisible man when we need him the most. Helps himself to extra servings like a gourmand at a buffet when going is easy. We have seen FTB and HTB but rohit is a FWB - fair weather bully, like a fair weather friend. Also extremely lucky in odi cricket and unlucky in test cricket.

Is there a way to find his stats in knockouts and tournament finals (loi)?

rohit sharma my fav topic

ghanta talent,just like you said looks good when everything is in his favour i.e flat wkt,no pressure,no expectation and thats why no sursprise came after him and became the legend he is and rohit is still we say yeah talent 

in the last ten years he was lucky he had dhoni as captain who favoured him  quite a lot,he had a mediocre record as middle order batsman so made him an opener,such privileges have not been bestowed upon many indian cricketers

• from 2007-08- i was really excited,what a talented batsman ,can play big shots and look elegant at same time,no slogger big future
• 2008 ipl-amazing season,fortified my belief next great indian batsman
• 2008-2012-talent ,give him more oppurtunity,lots of abilities etc,in between he harassed wi team quite a lot (his fav team)
• 2013 till now-once he is set he will be unstoppable,oh no rohit wasted a start again after wasteing so many balls,oh no rohit fails to deliver when it mattered again
• in between all this there was his test debut : wow what a start to his career ,this is his format,he should have made his debut long back.after sometime it was changed, struggles overseas or in difficult conditions,my memory of him being test batsman is that horrendous shot against moeen ali in the 3rd test which started the collapse before which he was playing well

thats in nutshell acc to me rohit story of past decade,very elegant batsman who got lots of favours to establish himself as an indian batsman even though he is not clutch.Only thing going in his favour at the moment is he is only viable captaincy option in odi cricket after virat and i believe he has that captaincy luck as well

overall i am happy now he occasionally scores big runs in odi cricket ,all though his method still flawed n risky

I cannot think of any Indian player who got as much hype and as many chances as Rohit and delivered so little.

 

Two words to describe Rohit, disappointing and underwhelming.

 

Another of project Dhoni that went wrong.

those chances you are talking about were before he became opener. He was never regular in the team before that and would only play when seniors were resting and since he started opening he has been averaging around 50 in last 4-5 years. How can someone who is averaging 50 in ODIs for almost half of his career can be disappointing and underwhelming?

that was because he was never regular in the team and would mostly only play when some senior was resting or injured. He did balloon some of the chances he got but it is very difficult for any batsmen to find his feet when he is dropped after every series due to seniors coming back.

Agree on most part but disagree that he only got chances when seniors were resting.

 

He got enough proper chances and failed so bad that we wanted him out of the team but selectors kept trying so that he can be picked for world cup 2011, but Indian team got lucky that Kohli scored timely knock in south africa before world cup tour in 2011 and got selected.

 

Sharma got enough chances and not just when seniors were missing and there is no doubt about it.

he was given a chance to bat at 3,number 3 for india just post the ipl 2008 and what he did just fluffed the chances and what you are talking about missing when seniors came was also the situation for virat but what he did was perform and cement his spot in that team filled with legends ,no talent crap

and still remember idiot dhoni dropped virat to accomodate rohit in one off those games in dambulla in 2010 and all rohit didnt take any of those chances to cement his spot in the 11

that number 4 spot which eventually virat took in wc 2011 was rohit's but virat perfomed and sealed his spot and rohit just didnt perform

Anyone who watched Indian cricket in last 10 years know that this guy was given his proper chance.

 

To make excuse that he was in and out for seniors is wrong as pretty much every player goes theough that cycle if he is dropped once.

 

He was just extremely inconsistent player when he first came.

 

He himself made statements when dropped that he was trying to be something which he wasn't.

this guy was so lucky he got chance to open for india in wt20 2009 ,what he did ,he flopped again,you cant blame anyone else when you never showed up even after given so many chances

[SK_IH]

sorry for digressing,but i always think of virat when i look at youngster coming in ,the way he performed no stop barring 1-2 series was amazing,he kept scoring 50s after 50s and even though there was no huge talk about him unlike rohit but his performances were so good,no one could ignore him

we need more players with virat's attitude,dont think indian cricket needs to endure rohit kind talent again

That is all true and I agree but on current form i will pick Rohit as he hs been fine for the Indian team at too and anyone scoring that many runs can't be dropped at this time.

 

He was lucky to survive and get that many chances but now he has done well from last few years.

 

I won't give him another run if his form decline but for now will keep him.
