Cricket fraternity wishes Rohit Sharma on his 35th birthday

The cricket community sent its warm wishes to Indian captain Rohit Sharma as he turned 35 on Saturday. The veteran batter is currently leading the Mumbai Indians side in IPL 2022.

Rohit Sharma recently took over as full-time skipper of Team India across formats. It has been a highly successful reign as India have won all their games ever since then under his regime.

His biggest challenge as Indian captain will be to end the team's drought in the ICC tournaments. India have not managed to emerge victorious in the ICC tournaments since the 2013 Champions Trophy.

Rohit Sharma's primary mission in his leadership tenure will be achieving success at the two upcoming global events. These are the 2022 T20 World Cup in Australia and the 2023 50-over World Cup in India.
