Rohit Sharma, born on April 30, 1987, in Bansod, India, is a famous Indian cricketer and the current captain of the Indian cricket team in Test and One-Day International (ODI) formats. He was also the Twenty20 International (T20I) team captain until he retired on June 29, 2024, after winning the T20I World Cup. Sharma led the Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL) for ten years, winning five titles with them. Known for his powerful batting, his fans fondly call him " Hitman " and occasionally bowls off-spin.
Sharma is the only player to score three double centuries in ODIs and holds records for the most international sixes, most sixes in World Cups, and the highest individual score in an ODI. He has been part of the Indian teams that won the 2007 T20I World Cup, the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy, and the 2024 T20I World Cup.
Sharma's journey started in Bansod, Nagpur, where coach Dinesh Lad noticed his talent in 1999. Initially, Sharma was a spin bowler but later focused on batting. He made his List A debut in 2006 and impressed in domestic cricket, leading to his selection for the India A and Mumbai teams in the Ranji Trophy.
In the IPL, Sharma began with the Deccan Chargers in 2008 and won the 2009 title. He joined the Mumbai Indians in 2011, leading them to five IPL titles and a Champions League T20 title. His international debut came in 2007, and he became a key player for India, especially after being promoted as an opener by then-captain MS Dhoni in 2013.
Sharma's career highlights include the highest individual ODI score of 264, five centuries in the 2019 ODI World Cup, and leading India to victory in the 2024 T20I World Cup. He announced his retirement from T20Is after this triumph.
