Without an iota of doubt, Rohit Sharma is among the greatest openers of limited-overs cricket in the modern-day generation, with close to 20,000 runs in ODIs and T20Is combined. He will be eyeing another milestone on Saturday, June 20, when he steps out to bat against Afghanistan in the third ODI of the ongoing series at the M. A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
Rohit has been a consistent performer for the Indian team over the years, but the series has been slightly underwhelming for the legendary batter, as he has failed to convert his starts into big scores. With the cricketer being under immense scrutiny ahead of the 2027 World Cup, each match and each series for him are going to be as significant as any.
However, his record in Chennai, especially in the one-day internationals, is something that indicates worrying signs for the batter. The experienced campaigner has scored truckloads of runs all around the world, but when it comes to Chennai, the record isn’t indicative of how big a player Rohit Sharma is.
In seven outings with the bat at Chepauk, Rohit has managed only 140 runs at a subpar average of 20.00, while his strike rate of 76.92 sounds very contradictory. He does not even have a single fifty-plus individual score at the venue, having played here since his first in 2010, which is quite surprising. His highest score at the iconic venue is 36, which came against the West Indies back in 2019.
