Happy Birthday Rohit Sharma

Today is the 33rd birthday of India's opener and vice-captain of limited overs cricket, Rohit Sharma. He may not be confirmed in the Test team, but in limited overs cricket he is one of the most important players of Team India. Born on 30 April 1987 in Bansod in Nagpur district of Maharashtra, Rohit has made a special identity in Indian cricket thanks to his brilliant game. Rohit Sharma is the first-class batsman in limited overs cricket format. He is also an excellent captain.

For the Indian cricket team, Rohit Sharma handles the captaincy very well in the absence of current captain Virat Kohli. Not only this, Rohit Sharma has given the title to Mumbai Indians four times (2013, 2015, 2017, 2019) under his captaincy. Let's take a look at some selected records of Rohit Sharma-
