Rohit Sharma's atrocious record in ODI tournament finals

[Dil Dil India]

Now we all know that Rohit is a wonderful LOI player, but his ODI tournament finals record is rather shocking. I couldn't believe it when I saw the stats and I had to double check because as we know, Rohit is usually the epitome of a clutch player.

 

His tournament final stats:

 

10 matches, 256 runs @ 25.6 with 2 half centuries

when did he play so many finals

only ct finals i remember

and he failed both times 

 

[sergio04]

india should throw him out of odi team

and should open with ms dhoni or prithwi shaw

[Cricketics]

Doesn’t matter how his record look. He is still better than most to play in the Indian LOI team and even with past poor record in one off game which is a final, he will still walk into any line up in the world. He is that good in ODI’s.  Stats prove that.

 

If someone doesn’t do well in finals then so be it. You have to do ignore that and still pick such player as you have to do well in earlier matches to reach the finals and Rohit does the job there for us.

The OP spent most of his days on PP so you can excuse him.

Maybe we should have a limit on how many threads a person can start in a week / month

[jf1gp_1]

What’s is the purpose of this thread ? To state fact or suggesting drop rohit from ODI?  If it’s to state fact it’s nice to know but if it’s later then OP is the only one who thinks that way.

Only if you know what you're talking about, SRT has a better record than any other Indian in the finals including Virat. And no just limiting it to WC finals is stupid, because then you only have Viv, Gilly, Aravinda & Mcgrath who won't be certified as chokers.

His knock in 2007 t20 wc final is quite underrated (30 of 15 odd balls ) and imp 50 knock against SAF before that knock.

Garbage thread. Say what you want about Rohit the test batsman, Rohit is a gun ODI bat.

[Dil Dil India]

I rather thought I was speaking to adults and hence comprehension wouldn't be an issue - but clearly, that isn't the case; so let me water this down a little.

 

I am not advocating that Rohit be dropped from the ODI side or suggesting that he is a bad ODI player. I am merely wondering why his finals record is so poor for such a great player and it took me by surprise. I was hoping for some insight into why that is the case.

He only played 4 icc finals if i am not wrong. 1 he didn't get to bat we know what he did in 2 WC finals. 4th did few against nz but we lost that game. 

 

Unless you want to count those tri series which had one no test playing nation. Please dont come back with desert strom or tri series in aus. His career spanned 25yrs he would have won a few here or there.

You claim he played only 4 and 1 in which he didn't even bat and 1 where team was chasing 360 plus, third he succeeded but team failed

 

And the tri series is our only odi series win ever in Austrlia and desert storm was the first series win against aus out of India so both were historic. The posting level of some posters here has fallen into the gutter

LOL what are you going to do with the insight. Do you have the BCCI on speed dial . Resorting to ad hominem attacks doesn't help your discussion

Wrong. We won the world series cup in 1985. That win didn't have Sachin in it. We beat Aus, Pak, Eng in the group stages and NZ and Pak in the knockouts and won the cup. And you were saying the posting level is falling into the gutter. Include yours.

Yeah, he should better be online writing posts like us to prove how brave he is. Kind of things you write here, I hope in real world you are a lot different than this.

 

On topic, Rohit, Kohli, Dhawan,the big 3 in ODIs, have all got an atrocious record in ODI finals. The three of them carry us through multiple team tournaments and then run out of steam in finals leaving an undercooked middle order to struggle further.

 

Most of these tournaments would have been those tri series in Sri Lanka or Asia Cups against BD besides the two CT finals. Not sure of the reason as all three have great records against SL/BD.
