Rohit Gurunath Sharma, born April 30, 1987, in Mumbai, is India's most successful current cricketer.
He amassed many records with a strong stance and an opening batsman mentality on the cricket pitch. He earned numerous accolades throughout his career as captain of the Indian national team.
A right-handed opening batsman who also bowls occasionally makes up part of a formidable opening pair with Shikhar Dhawan.
He has captained prolifically during his international career, winning the ICC World Cup 2015 against all odds and lifting the trophy, which garnered much positive media attention globally for his look of sheer joy.
He also plays for Mumbai Indians in domestic cricket and captains them to victory in that tournament five times.
The Rise to Fame of Rohit Sharma
Rohit is currently a man with an eye for excellence.
He has broken records and kept raising the bar in the sport of cricket. His passion for the game comes across so clearly when he hits a six or strikes a four, which makes him madly adored by many supporters.
He won the ICC Men's ODI Cricketer of the Year award in 2019 and 2020, as well as being conferred with the prestigious Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna award in 2020 after he scored five centuries in 2019 World Cup.
Rohit is a supremely talented batsman who puts on the show with his creativity and sense of style.
Though Sharma has typically played as an opening batsman in limited-overs cricket, he mostly played as a middle-order batsman in Test cricket.
It's no wonder that while Sharma is widely recognized as one of the format's greatest batting talents, he's also considered by many to be one of the best limited-overs players around today!
Rohit Sharma's Wife and Daughter
Rohit Sharma has been married to Ritika Sajdeh since December 2015.
Rohit and Ritika met in a TV commercial shoot in 2008. Since then, the two started talking to each other and eventually dated.
Ritika is always there for Rohit, especially in every play or match.
Rohit Sharma brought his family into a winning mood by being a doting father to his firstborn, Samaira Sharma.
He and his wife, Ritika Sajdeh, welcomed their little bundle of joy on December 30, 2018.
The cricketer came back from Australia for his baby's birth only to hurriedly join up with the team too.
Outside cricket, Sharma is a passionate supporter of animal welfare campaigns and uses his status to support them as much as he can.
He is an official Rhino Ambassador for WWF-India and helps with their campaign to promote awareness of the risk of extinction these magnificent creatures are facing.
He supports other such causes, including the plight of animals that have been abandoned in India, by lending his support to PETA's campaign, which highlights how thousands of unwanted pets need adopting.
