He was selected in the national junior team in 2009.[4] Rohidas was selected in the senior squad for the 2013 Asia Cup in Ipoh where the Indian team won the silver medal. He made a comeback to the Indian side in 2017. Rohidas is the tenth international and sixth men's hockey player to play in the Olympics from Odisha and also the first non-tribal hockey Olympian from Odisha.[5][6]

Rohidas is on the men's hockey team for India for the Paris 2024 Olympics. During the quarter-finals match against Great Britain, he received a red card for swinging his hockey stick into Will Calnan's face.[7] Hockey India lodged an appeal on the grounds that Rohidas did not intend to hit Calnan with his stick.[8]
