Both times, India won the titles.
Early life of Rohit Sharma:
Sharma was born on April 30, 1987, in the city of Bansod in the state of Maharashtra. His mother is from Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. Her name is Purnima Sharma. Gurunath Sharma’s job was to take care of the warehouse of a transportation company. Sharma was raised in Borivali by his grandparents and uncles because his father didn’t make much money. Only on weekends did he go to see his parents, who lived in a one-room house in Dombivli. Vishal Sharma is his younger brother.
In 1999, Sharma used the money from his uncle to pay for a cricket camp. Dinesh Lad, his teacher at the camp, asked him to switch to Swami Vivekanand International School, where Lad was the coach and where the cricket facilities were better than at Sharma’s old school. Sharma remembers, “I told him I couldn’t pay for it, but he got me a grant. So I didn’t pay a dime for four years and did well at cricket.
A first-class domestic career and youth
In March 2005, Sharma played his first List A game for West Zone against Central Zone at Gwalior for the Deodhar Trophy. At number eight, he made 31 runs and didn’t get out, which helped the West Zone win by 3 wickets with 24 balls left. Both Cheteshwar Pujara and Ravindra Jadeja played in their first game at the same time. Sharma’s unbeaten innings of 142 runs in 123 balls against North Zone at the Maharanna Bhupal College Ground in Udaipur during the same event put him on the map.
Sharma made his first-class debut with India A in July 2006, when they played New Zealand A at Darwin. India won by 3 wickets because he hit 57 and 22. During the 2006–07 Ranji Trophy season, he played for Mumbai for the first time and got 205 runs off 267 balls against Gujarat.
International career of Rohit Sharma:
Test career
Test careerDuring Sachin Tendulkar’s farewell series in November 2013, Sharma played his first Test match against the West Indies at Eden Gardens in Kolkata. He hit 177, which was the second-highest score by an Indian player on their first Test match after Shikhar Dhawan’s 187. He then scored 111 (not out) in the second Test at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, which is his home ground. Sharma hadn’t been on the Test team since 2017–18, but he made it back in time for the 2018–19 tour of Australia. Chief selection M. S. K. Prasad said that he was brought back because his natural style worked well on the bouncy pitches in Australia.
Sharma played in the first Test, which took place in Adelaide. Rohit scored 37 and 1 in that game, which India won. He hurt himself during the first Test, so he couldn’t play in the second Test in Perth. He got better in time for the third Test on Christmas Day in Melbourne, where he hit 63 (not out) to help India reach 443/7 and win the Test and the series. Sharma had to go back to India after the third Test because his daughter was going to be born. Sharma took over as leader of India’s Test team from Virat Kohli in February 2022, just before a two-match series against Sri Lanka. Sunil Gavaskar praised his leadership, and India’s head of selectors, Chetan Sharma, said, “Under him, we will train future captains”.
One-Day international
Sharma’s first match for his country was a one-day game against Ireland in Belfast on June 23, 2007. This was part of the Future Cup in 2007, which South Africa also took part in. He was seventh in the lineup, but he didn’t bat because India won by 9 wickets. On May 28, 2010, he made his first ODI century (114) against Zimbabwe. On May 30, 2010, he made his second century (101 not out) against Sri Lanka in the next game of the tri-series. He had a string of bad games in South Africa right before the 2011 World Cup, so India didn’t pick him for their team.
His good form kept up, and he got 141 (not out) against Australia in Jaipur later that year. He then hit 209 off 158 balls in Bangalore and set a world record at the time for the most sixes in a one-day international innings with 16. This record has since been broken by Eoin Morgan of England, who hit 17 sixes in his innings. Sharma set the world record for the highest score in a one-day international innings on November 13, 2014, when he hit 264 runs in 173 balls while playing against Sri Lanka at Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Sharma was the first Indian captain to win both a T20I and an ODI series in England. This happened in July 2022. He became the third Indian captain and the first since 2014 to win an ODI series in England.
Twenty20 international
Sharma was part of the Indian team that went to the 2007 ICC World Twenty20. He made a name for himself by hitting 50 runs without getting out against the hosts, South Africa, in the quarterfinals. India won the match by 37 runs, and in the final, Sharma hit 30 (not out) from 16 deliveries to help them beat Pakistan.
In March 2018, he was leader of Team India when they won the Nidahas Trophy. In a match against the West Indies in November 2018, he made his fourth T20I century. This made him the player with the most centuries in T20I cricket history. Yuvraj Singh held the record for most sixes hit by an Indian batter in T20 World Cups, but Sharma broke it when he hit his 34th six against the Netherlands on October 27, 2022.
Rohit Sharma in Indian Premier League
Sharma joined the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2008 when the Hyderabad-based Deccan Chargers team paid him US$750,000 a year to play for them. At the sale in 2011, he was sold to the Mumbai Indians for US$2 million. He got his only IPL century against the Kolkata Knight Riders in 2012. His score was 109 (not out). Under his direction, Mumbai won the IPL in 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2020. They also won the Champions League Twenty20 in 2013.
Playing style of Rohit Sharma:
Sharma is a tough batter, but he plays with style and grace. In limited-overs cricket, he is usually the first batter, but he has spent most of his Test career as a middle-order batsman. Sharma is thought to be one of the best batters in limited overs cricket by most people. And because he could hit the ball hard and hit sixes, he was often called “Hitman.”
