Profile | Rohit Gurunath Sharma is an Indian International Cricketer, who has played for the national team since 2007. This immensely talented Indian cricketer has also been the vice-captain of the Indian national cricket team for the ODI and T20I matches. Rohit Sharma is a right-handed top-order batsman of the team and an occasional right-arm off-break bowler as well. He had started his international career at the age of 20.
This 31 years old batsman came into the limelight after demonstrating some aggressive performances in the CB series. His undeniable playing efforts and some decisive cameos against a few stalwarts such as Stuart Clark, Brett Lee, etc. gave him more highlights among the new-entry cricketers. After getting selected for the national team, his career has seen many ups and downs due to his unstable performance rates. Things turned towards a better direction when the former Indian captain M.S. Dhoni has promoted Rohit Sharma to the top-order opener spot. This masterstroke of ‘captain cool’ has given Rohit a new life in his career. According to the analysis, finally, he has got a turnaround to the success after almost 5 years of his national team selection. Currently, he is playing as the captain of the Mumbai Indians team in the running IPL tournament. |
