Rohit Sharma, widely known as the “Hitman” of Indian cricket, is one of the most elegant and destructive opening batsmen in the game’s history. Born on April 30, 1987, in Bansod, Nagpur, Rohit made his ODI debut for India in 2007. Though his early career was inconsistent, his transformation began in 2013 when he was promoted to open the innings in ODIs. Since then, he has become one of the most successful limited-overs batsmen. Rohit holds the record for the highest individual score in a One Day International — a staggering 264 against Sri Lanka in 2014. He is the only player to have scored three double centuries in ODIs and five centuries in a single World Cup edition (2019). In Test cricket, his career picked up pace after he was promoted as an opener in 2019, showcasing dominance even in the red-ball format. As of 2025, Rohit has scored over 10,000 runs in ODIs and 4,000+ runs in Tests. He also plays a pivotal role in T20 Internationals and has led India in major tournaments, including the T20 World Cup and Asia Cup. In IPL, he captains Mumbai Indians and has led them to five championship titles, making him one of the most successful captains in IPL history. Rohit is admired for his timing, calm demeanor, and leadership qualities. Off the field, he is known for his love for wildlife conservation and is involved in various philanthropic efforts. He is married to Ritika Sajdeh, and the couple has a daughter. Rohit Sharma’s journey from a talented youngster to a modern-day legend is marked by resilience, hard work, and a unique flair that has left an indelible mark on Indian cricket.
