Former England cricketer Michael Atherton feels that Team India cricketer Rohit Sharma`s numbers make him successful, but not quite a stellar batsman in whites.

Speaking on the Sky Sports Cricket podcast, he said, "I think people will look at him and his best format is ODI cricket. He is going to go down as one of the greatest ODI openers, is he not? But a funny Test career. He had to wait for a long time to get in and then almost a career of two halves in Test cricket, averaging just a tick over 40 in the end with a dozen hundreds, means it is a successful record, but not quite a stellar record."
