Today is the birthday of ‘Rohit Sharma’, who has replaced India’s best players. Rohit Sharma was born on 30 April 1987 in Nagpur. Let’s get some interesting things about them.
Rohit Sharma, who has become an important part of Team India, stepped into international cricket in 2007 from ODI against Ireland. He started his career as a middle-order right-handed batsman, as his batting order changed as his career progressed and today he is a successful opener of the Indian cricket team. Due to the way they face the front team in the opening, every single bowler in the world is afraid of them.
Suddenly landed for the Champions Trophy
Before 2013, Rohit Sharma often used to bat in the middle-order, but before the start of the Champions Trophy in 2013, the then India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni (MS Dhoni) called him for a sudden opening. Earlier, he had opened twice in India. Rohit Sharma was a little nervous hearing the sudden innings opening in such a big tournament. The 2013 Champions Trophy was held in England.
In an interview, Rohit Sharma shared this incident of his career. He told that he did not know about the opponent properly and he felt that he would not be able to play. I was immersed in the same thinking about what to do all day. In the first match of the Champions Trophy against South Africa, Shikhar Dhawan refused to play the first ball. After this, Rohit won over fear and faced the first ball. Rohit and Dhawan shared more than 100 runs.Rohit had scored 65 runs in this match and India had scored 331 runs for seven wickets while batting first. In reply, South Africa managed to score only 305 runs. After this match, Rohit became India’s star opener. Rohit Sharma’s second consecutive half-century came in the next match.
Rohit’s journey started in 2013, Rohit Sharma made his debut in 2007, but he started making his dominance from 2013 after opening, and from that he traveled to Hitman. In 2013, Rohit Sharma’s bat scored a double century against Australia in Bengaluru. He scored an innings of 209 runs. The very next year he scored 264 runs against Sri Lanka in Kolkata. Then in 2017, against Sri Lanka, he scored 208 not out in Mohali. These three innings made Rohit Sharma a hitman. He is the only cricketer in the world to score more than one double century in ODI cricket.
After proving himself as an opener in ODIs, Rohit Sharma also got a chance in T20 cricket. Rohit, who made his debut in T20 format in 2007, played only one T20 match in 2013 and that too against Australia in Rajkot. In this match too, he opened, but was dismissed for 8 runs. However, after this, he created chaos. Rohit Sharma has four centuries in the T20 format since 2013. He made history by scoring a century in T20 against South Africa in 2015, Sri Lanka in 2017, England in 2018, and then West Indies. He is the first batsman in the world to do so.
Five centuries in a single world cup
In the World Cup played in England last year, Rohit Sharma hit five centuries and became the first cricketer in the world to do so. Rohit had scored centuries against South Africa, Pakistan, England and Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
