One of
Indian cricket’s modern-day greats, Rohit Sharma had been celebrating his
birthday in the middle of high-octane Indian Premier League seasons over the
last 12 years. In the recent past, the special day for the Mumbai Indians
captain came as a breather amid the high-pressure situations in the T20 league.
However, in
2020, Rohit Sharma is celebrating his birthday not with his Mumbai Indians
teammates but his family as the IPL 2020 season has been suspended until
further notice due to the coronavirus pandemic.
In the time away from the competitive action,
Rohit has got a rare opportunity to celebrate his 33rd birthday at home, with
wife Ritika Sajdeh and daughter Samaira.
Rohit Sharma
made his India debut as early as 2007. Even though the Mumbai batsman came up
with some memorable performances in the nascent stages of his international
career, his journey took a big turn when he was asked to open for India in
2013.
Rohit Sharma
grabbed the opportunity that came his way with both hands and made an immediate
impact in India’s winning-campaign in the 2013 Champions Trophy. Ever since
there has been no-stopping Rohit. From one of the most criticised cricketers to
becoming one of the most consistent players, the ‘Hitman’ has evolved into a
modern-day great.
Rohit Sharma
is the only cricketer on the planet to have hit 3 double hundreds in ODI
cricket. He has been hitting Daddy Hundreds at will in the 50-over format of
the game.
2019 was a
major milestone in Rohit Sharma’s international career. At the 2019 World Cup,
Rohit made sure the world watched his exploits in awe. With a record-breaking
tally of 5 hundreds, Rohit scored 648 runs in 9 matches before India crashed
out in the semi-final of the quadrennial tournament.
As Rohit Sharma
mentions, it was a fine personal campaign in England even though the team
imploded in the crucial semi-final against New Zealand.
Despite all his achievements in the limited-overs format of the game, Rohit Sharma’s Test career had been an enigma. But that changed in 2019 when he established himself in the longest form of the game as well. Rohit had shown glimpses of excellence in the Test format but the Mumbai batsman stamped his authority when he was asked to open for India in 2019.
