Shreyas Iyer vs Rohit Sharma - comparing their stats after 73 ODIs

Shreyas Iyer, who turned 31 recently, has been a terrific performer for Team India in ODI cricket. The right-handed batter made an excellent start to his Test career as well, scoring a hundred and a fifty. However, his woes against the short ball have limited his red-ball appearances. He has also been unlucky not to have played more T20Is, but has firmly established his place in the ODI team.

Shreyas was a key member of the Indian team that finished runners-up in the 2023 ODI World Cup at home. He also played a crucial role in the Men in Blue's 2025 Champions Trophy triumph earlier this year. The elegant right-handed batter is currently out of action after suffering a horrific injury while fielding in Australia.

Shreyas has so far been part of 73 ODIs. In this feature, we compare his stats with those of the former India captain Rohit Sharma after the latter had also played the same number of matches. It is pertinent to note here that Rohit batted in the middle over in the first few years of his one-day career.
