So far, Rohit has played 39 Tests for Team India, scoring 2,649 runs at an average of 46.47. The 34-year-old has also slammed 7 centuries and 1 double ton in the longest format of the game. He is currently ranked sixth in the ICC test rankings for batsmen and he has scored the most runs by an opener in the World Test Championship.
