Rohit – Virat: Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma (Rohit -Virat), the two biggest stars of Indian cricket, have been considered the backbone of Team India for the last decade. Now that both the legends have said goodbye to T20 and Test format, only one question is echoing between the fans. After all, who is the real king? The figures are answering this debate themselves.
Rohit Sharma dominated?
Looking at the data from 2021 to August 2025, Rohit Sharma batted in 162 innings for India and scored 5671 runs. During this, he scored 10 centuries and 34 half -centuries. Rohit’s biggest strength has been his continuity and standing for the team on big occasions. His contribution to the World Cup 2023 and 2024 T20 World Cup Trophy was memorable. However, Rohit retired from T20 after the 2024 World Cup and Test cricket in May 2025.
Virat Kohli’s condition!
On the other hand, Virat Kohli scored 5313 runs while batting in 149 innings during the same period. He played 23 innings less than Rohit, but still performed strongly with 12 centuries and 35 half -centuries. Virat’s specialty was a great record in big run chase. Although he lagged behind Rohit in terms of total runs, the count of centuries and half -centuries makes him stand on par.
Who is the real king?
If we talk about scoring only, then Hitman Rohit Sharma appears ahead. But if a century – King Kohli is not far behind if a century – half -century ratios and runs in low innings. That is, in the last five years, the decision of the real emperor is decided less than the figures and more than the perspective.
Both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli (Rohit -Virat) have brought Indian cricket to new heights. Rohit shone in both the captain and batsman, then Virat won the hearts of cricket lovers with his passion. Whatever the real king believes, the truth is that the last five years have been the secret of these two veterans on Indian cricket.
