Rohit Sharma Mother

Rohit Sharma has been one of the mainstays of India's batting order. Not only is he an integral member of the team but is also the captain of the Test and ODI teams.

He was leading the T20I team as well before retiring from the shortest format of the game after leading India to victory in the T20 World Cup in June 2024.

Rohit has been one of the leading batters in the world for more than a decade and is widely regarded as one of the best batsmen of this generation.

His journey in international career began in 2007 but it took him more than six years to become a regular in the Indian team.

His career finally took a turn for the better in 2013 when he was promoted from a middle-order batsman to an opener in limited-overs cricket.

The promotion turned out to be the catalyst that finally justified his immense batting talent. Later in 2019, he was also promoted as an opener in Tests.

Rohit has been scoring heavily for India across formats and holds several major batting records. He is the only batsman to hit more than one double century in ODIs.

So far, he has hit three double centuries in the 50-over format. He also holds the record for the highest individual score in ODIs - 264.

He holds the record for most sixes in international cricket as well. Rohit jointly holds the record for most T20I centuries as well - 5.

Apart from impressing in international cricket, Rohit has made a big impact in the IPL as well where he plays for Mumbai Indians. He has made a mark in the IPL not only as a batsman but also as a captain.

Rohit led Mumbai Indians to their first title in 2013. Under his captaincy, Mumbai Indians also became the first team to win the IPL three, four and five times.
