Widely hailed as one of the best of his generation, Rohit Sharma continues to be a star batter for India, particularly in white-ball cricket.
The cricketing world celebrates Rohit Sharma's 37th birthday today. A prolific batter and an astute captain, Rohit's name is synonymous with elegance, power, and leadership. Widely regarded as one of his generation's finest, Rohit's prowess truly shines in white-ball cricket. His strokeplay is a sight to behold – classy, measured, yet explosive and he possesses an unmatched calmness under pressure, captivating fans whether wielding the willow or leading from the front.
The fearsome pull shot is his signature weapon, particularly during the powerplay overs. But Rohit's adaptability is his true strength. He transforms seamlessly into a patient accumulator in Test matches, making him a true all-format great. As Rohit turns a year older, let's delve into the remarkable journey of this modern-day great.
Rohit's international debut in 2007 marked the beginning of a glorious career. His first significant impact came at the ICC T20 World Cup that same year. An unbeaten 30 off just 16 balls in the final against arch-rivals Pakistan, following an earlier fifty against South Africa, announced his arrival on the big stage. This young talent with a baby face possessed immense potential.
For the next six years, Rohit primarily featured in the middle-order. However, the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy proved to be a turning point. Partnering with Shikhar Dhawan at the top of the order, he amassed 177 runs at an average of 35.40, including two crucial fifties, in India's victorious campaign. This shift unlocked a new dimension to his batting.
