Rohit Sharma vs Sri Lanka stats and records
Since his international debut in 2007, Rohit Sharma has established himself as a prolific run-scorer, with Sri Lanka often finding themselves on the receiving end of his brilliance. From his early days to his prime, Rohit has consistently delivered match-winning performances against the Lions in Tests, ODIs, and T20Is.
Rohit’s love affair with Sri Lankan bowling began with his maiden century against them in May 2010. Playing in a Zimbabwe Triangular Series match, he scored an unbeaten 101 off 100 balls in Bulawayo. Batting at No. 4, Rohit’s composed knock, featuring six fours and two sixes, steered India to a comfortable seven-wicket victory. Notably, this was his second consecutive century, having scored his first international ton against Zimbabwe in the same series.
Over the years, Rohit continued to shine against Sri Lanka, with one of his most iconic performances coming in November 2014. During the fourth ODI of Sri Lanka’s tour of India, Rohit made history at Eden Gardens, Kolkata, by smashing 264 runs off just 173 balls—the highest individual score in ODI cricket. His breathtaking innings, studded with 33 fours and nine sixes, propelled India to a commanding 153-run win.
These knocks, among others, highlight Rohit Sharma’s ability to dominate Sri Lankan bowlers and underline his remarkable consistency against them across all formats.
