The sudden announcement of Rohit Sharma's tests retirement marks the end of an era for Indian cricket. His journey in this format has evolved the years, from being a middle-order batsman to a dominant captain to open for his nation. 

This transformation defines his Test legacy that we have witnessed over the years. It is now time to look back at those times and numbers; check out Rohit Sharma stats in tests.

The Initial Chapter (2013-2018)

In November 2013, during Sachin Tendulkar's farewell series, Rohit Sharma made his Test debut at Eden Gardens in Kolkata against the West Indies, scoring 177, the second highest score in an Indian debut behind Shikhar Dhawan (187).

He followed with 111 (not out) in the second test at his home ground, Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. However, he couldn’t find constant form in the longest format and could only score only one Test hundred after that, before he was promoted as an opener in a series against South Africa in 2019.

The Run-scoring Skipper (2019-2024)

The Test series against South Africa in 2019 turned out to be a memorable one for Rohit as he went on to score three hundreds in three matches, including his maiden double hundred in Tests. His promotion as an opening batter in this format, gradually started to show brilliant outcomes.

Rohit's highest score in Test cricket came against South Africa in October 2019 in Ranchi where he scored 212 (255) runs hitting 28 fours and six sixes. He also scored his first overseas test century against England in 2021, with a knock of 127 runs at the Oval.

His contributions in this format were at its peak when he was appointed as the captain of India in the Test format in February 2022. He succeeded the former captain, Virat Kohli, ahead of a series against Sri Lanka.

The Final Blow

In his recent Test appearances, particularly during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series against Australia in late 2024 and early 2025, Rohit Sharma struggled to find his usual form. His performances in this crucial series, which also had impact on India's standing in the WTC cycle, saw a major dip in his batting average.

Across the matches, he recorded several low scores in contrast to his earlier success as a top-order batsman in the format. This raised concerns about his form leading into the ending stage of the WTC and ultimately preceded his retirement announcement.

The Indian Premier League (IPL), which began in 2008, is presently in its 18th season. It is considered one of the hardest and most energizing T20 leagues in the world. Consistently scoring runs isn't a simple thing to do in the IPL, indeed for world-class batsmen. With plenty of world batters playing in the IPL, it's not simple to be among the best run scorers. However, a few players have stood the test of time and have reliably performed within the IPL.

On that note, let's take a look at five batters who have scored most 400 plus runs in an IPL season.
