NEW DELHI: When discussing India's all-time batting greats, Rohit Sharma's name often comes to mind. However, former cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar has a different perspective, stating that Rohit does not quite fit into the list of legends. Rohit, the only player in history to register three double hundreds in ODIs, stands as India's fourth-highest run-getter in international cricket with over 19,700 runs across formats. His tally includes 11,168 runs in ODIs, 4,301 runs from 67 Tests, and 4,231 runs in T20Is. Manjrekar believes what prevents Rohit from being included in the list of all-time greats is his relatively average record in Test cricket, which he considers the ultimate benchmark for judging greatness. "Rohit Sharma does not fit in the all-time Indian Batting Great list because we're talking about legends like Gavaskar (Sunil), Tendulkar (Sachin), Dravid (Rahul), and Virat (Kohli). Rohit does not quite make it there," Manjrekar said on the Great Indian Cricket Show on Doordarshan. "But if you look at one-day cricket, selflessness, or captainship, then you have to mention Rohit Sharma. Especially after the 2023 World Cup, the love people have for him is on another level. People saw that he was never thinking about himself; he was willing to sacrifice his own interests for the team's advantage. That's his real speciality. His easy domination in limited-overs cricket was always pleasing, almost making 300 runs in one ODI innings. But when you talk of all-time Indian Batting Great, Test cricket holds more weightage, I don't think he made a big impact in that format."
