Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma is celebrating his 37th birthday today, on April 30. The Indian captain will be in action for the Mumbai Indians (MI) in a match against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on his birthday.
Rohit Sharma has been one of the most successful captains in the Indian Premier League (IPL). However, this year has been difficult for him as he was removed from the captaincy of the team that he led to a five-time trophy win.
In 2023, Rohit Sharma also faced a major heartbreak with India losing the ODI World Cup at home in the final. The loss still haunts him.
Hitman illustrious career
Rohit’s journey in international cricket has been nothing short of extraordinary. He holds the record for the highest individual score in One Day Internationals (ODIs), an astonishing 264 runs against Sri Lanka in 2014. Additionally, he is the only cricketer to have scored three double centuries in ODIs, showcasing his unparalleled batting prowess.
Sharma stands as India’s second-highest run-scorer in T20 Internationals and holds the distinction of being the sole Indian to achieve a T20I century while captaining the side.
