ToggleThe vice-captain of the Indian National Cricket team, Rohit Sharma graced this planet earth on this very day, 32 years ago in Nagpur. Rohit soon grabbed eyeballs with his clean hitting abilities and slotted into the Mumbai team and also represented India in the U19 World Cup in 2006. This is where Rohit showed his class as a top-order batsman and made his international debut.

He took that class with him when he played for India in their triumphant World T20 campaign in 2007 and the CB Series in Australia in early 2008, scoring two fifties, including a vital 66 in the first final in Sydney. However that ability to look good at the crease didn’t translate into long innings in his first two first-class seasons for Mumbai. He kept making strides in the big league, though. Deccan Chargers in the first edition of the IPL and made 404 runs at 36.73 including four fifties.
Rohit celebrates his 32nd birthday
However, Rohit Sharma struggled in the first six years of his international career. It was in 2013 when Rohit was promoted to open the innings in ODIs. The move turned out to be a masterstroke, as Rohit found form in the Champions Trophy, and then went into overdrive in the ODI series against Australia, scoring two centuries, including 209, only the third double in ODI cricket. That led to a place in the Test team, and Rohit responded by scoring centuries in his first two Test innings, becoming the fifth batsman to do so. A year later, he became the first batsman to hit two ODI double-hundreds, in an innings where he smashed the record for the highest score with 264 off 173 against Sri Lanka at Eden Gardens.

And with the World Cup in a month, Rohit Sharma has set his eyes on the prestigious trophy. He will look to forge an outstanding partnership with Shikhar Dhawan at the top and bring the glory home. Currently, Rohit is leading the Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League. They are currently in the third place and well set to progress to the playoffs.
Happy birthday, Hitman ?
