Rohit Sharma made his Test debut in 2013 against the West Indies. He scored 4,301 runs in 67 matches at an average of 40.57, with 12 centuries and 18 half-centuries. Rohit scored his career best of 212 runs against South Africa in 2019. Notably, his team suffered a 0-3 whitewash to New Zealand at home.
