Virat Kohli vs Rohit Sharma - comparing their ODI stats in 2025

Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are undoubtedly two of the biggest superstars Indian cricket has produced in recent times. Both retired from T20Is after the Men in Blue's triumph in the 2024 T20 World Cup. The duo also quit Test cricket a week apart in May this year. As such, they only feature in ODIs and there has been plenty of excitement around them whenever they have played for India recently.

Rohit led Team India to victory in the Champions Trophy held in the UAE earlier this year, with Kohli playing a key role in the win. This was his second straight triumph as captain in an ICC event. Despite his tremendous record while leading the team in one-dayers, Hitman was sacked as captain, keeping preparations for the 2027 ODI World Cup in mind.

Following impressive performances with the willow this year, 'RoKo' remain in serious contention for a place in the 2027 World Cup squad. In this feature, we compare Kohli and Rohit's ODI batting stats in 2025.
