Background
Born in Mumbai on April 30, 1987, Rohit Sharma rose through domestic cricket to become one of India's greatest batters. His transformation from a middle-order talent to an explosive opener redefined his career and ODI cricket as a whole.
Playing Style
Rohit is a classical stylist with an effortless technique. He times the ball beautifully, rarely appears to hit hard yet the ball races to the boundary. His pull shot and flick off the pads are among the best in modern cricket.
Key Achievements
