Rohit Sharma Wiki: Age, height, Birth Place, Family & More

Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma, has made a name for himself with his exceptional performances in all three formats of the game. The right-handed batsman from Mumbai was a part of the India squad that lifted the T20 World Cup in South Africa back in 2007.

Rohit Sharma had a few rough years in international cricket after that 2007 triumph. The cricket universe labeled him an extremely 'talented' player who was unable to realise his full potential. Despite being one of India's most promising batsmen, Rohit Sharma failed to earn a place in the 2011 World Cup squad.

ICC Champions Trophy 2013 was a turning point in Rohit Sharma's career

Subsequently, he worked hard, and his fortunes turned in 2013 when Ricky Ponting handed him the reins of the Mumbai Indians team. Rohit Sharma led the Mumbai-based franchise to their maiden IPL trophy that year, and a few months later, he cemented his spot in the Indian cricket team with a marvelous performance at the ICC Champions Trophy 2013.

Fast forward to 2020, and Rohit Sharma is one of the world's best batsmen right now. Nicknamed 'Hitman,' the Mumbai Indians skipper, is the only man to win the IPL trophy four times as a captain. Besides, he has three ODI double hundreds and four T20I centuries to his name.
