ODI average above 50 across 271 matches

Sharma's primary format is the one-day game, where he averages 50.25 from 271 matches with 11,357 runs at a strike rate of 92.33. That combination of volume and average puts him among the most consistent ODI openers in the data.

Strong record against West Indies

Across 62 matches against West Indies, Sharma averages 55.46 with 2,884 runs. That is his best batting average against any of the major Test-playing nations in the dataset, and it comes with an economy of just 4.72 with the ball.

Eden Gardens his most productive away base

At Eden Gardens, Sharma averages 49.32 from 27 matches, scoring 1,233 runs at a strike rate of 106.2. Those are better returns than at several venues he has visited more frequently.

IPL: 270 matches, strike rate of 132.56

His IPL record spans 270 matches and 7,185 runs at a strike rate of 132.56. The format demands a different gear from ODIs, and Sharma's numbers show he shifts comfortably, though his average drops to 30.06 at that pace.

745 matches across all formats

Sharma's career stretches to 745 matches in total, producing 26,785 runs at an overall batting average of 38.60. He has also taken 27 wickets across formats at an economy of 5.56.
