Rohit Sharma 45 1963 116.85 47.88 213 100 5.36 55.11 37.38
Shubman Gill 52 2726 100.33 61.95 309 58 7.2 49.57 48.59

Axar Patel 27 602 90.39 28.67 37 23 11.1 46.84 52.14

What Makes This Indian Team Special? 

  • Well-Rounded Batting Order – India boasts an ideal combination of aggressive batsmen steady players, and those who finish games .  
  • High-Scoring and Steady – Scoring quickly while keeping high averages is uncommon in today's cricket. 
  • Adaptability – Team members adjust their playing style to suit different game situations providing both stability and aggression when necessary. 
  • Smart Play – Few dot balls and clever boundary-hitting strategies make them an effective and unpredictable batting group. 

Are They Among the All-Time Greats?  
India's control of ODI batting in recent years can't be disputed. Several players maintain outstanding averages and scoring rates setting a high bar in today's limited-overs cricket. The only thing missing to cement their place in history? More ICC trophies.  

As the team keeps setting new records, it's reasonable to say we're watching one of the best ODI teams ever.
