Born in Nagpur and raised in a modest household, Rohit's journey from a humble background to international cricketing glory is as inspiring as it is extraordinary. His natural elegance at the crease, combined with devastating power and impeccable timing, has made him a fan favorite across the globe. Rohit first made headlines in domestic cricket with Mumbai and caught the eye with his temperament and stroke play. He debuted for India in an ODI against Ireland in 2007. Although he took time to cement his place, his defining moment came when he was promoted to open the innings in 2013. That decision transformed his career. Since then, Rohit has rewritten ODI history, becoming the only player to score three double centuries in One Day Internationals — with the highest being 264 against Sri Lanka, the highest individual score in ODI history. In T20 Internationals, he is a powerhouse, holding the record for the most centuries (5) in the format. He is also one of the few cricketers to have scored centuries in all three formats of the game. His class and calm demeanor have been instrumental in India’s successes over the years, including ICC tournaments like the Champions Trophy 2013, where he played a pivotal role. Rohit’s Test career also saw a revival in 2019 when he was tried as an opener. He silenced critics with stunning performances, including twin centuries in his first Test as an opener against South Africa. His technique and adaptability proved he wasn’t just a white-ball specialist but a complete batsman across formats. Beyond individual feats, Rohit has made a huge impact as a leader. Under his captaincy, the Mumbai Indians franchise in the IPL has flourished, winning five IPL titles (2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2020), making him the most successful captain in the tournament’s history. In 2023, he was officially named India’s all-format captain, entrusted with leading the next generation. Off the field, Rohit is known for his humility, wit, and deep love for animals. He actively supports wildlife conservation and has been involved in various charitable efforts. Married to Ritika Sajdeh, he is also a doting father to his daughter, Samaira. Rohit Sharma's legacy is one of dominance, elegance, and resilience. From a boy in Borivali to a record-breaking international superstar, his story is a reminder that talent, when nurtured with patience and belief, can rewrite history.
