The former, ex-captain of the Men in Blue, leading them to ICC T20 World Cup and Champions Trophy victories. The latter, a lethal fast bowler who has won two ICC World Cups, one T20 World Cup, as well as the ICC World Test Championship.

Rohit Sharma Vs Mitchell Starc: ODIs Head-To-Head

As just mentioned, Rohit Sharma and Mitchell Starc have gone up against each other in 13 One Day International innings so far. 

In them, the Indian batsman has hit 157 runs against the Australian bowler, with an impressive average of 52.3. Additionally, Starc has only managed to get rid of Rohit three times.

This suggests that the former Indian skipper has a bit of an edge against this particular opponent. 

However, it will still be interesting to see just how their next encounter plays out in the upcoming series. With the absence of Pat Cummins, Starc will have more responsibility on himself as one of the most senior players.

On the other hand, Rohit Sharma no longer has the weight of captaincy on his shoulders, Shubman Gill has taken over, which should allow him to play more freely.
