Forget Christopher Gayle. It's our own hitman Rohit Sharma who has emerged as the most devastating batsman in white-ball cricket. There is no better sight in the game than Rohit in full flow. The Lucknowites were lucky to see him in top gear when international cricket returned to the city after 24 years, as he hammered his fourth T20I century, the most in the format.

Virat Kohli may be the top batsman in all three formats, but whenever the regular Indian captain decides to take a break, Rohit fills in more than adequately — both as a stand-in skipper and premier batsman. We saw it in the recent Asia Cup in the UAE last month and now in the T20I series against the West Indies.
