Profile
Rohit Sharma, along with teammate Robin Uthappa, were two youngsters who confidently came off the blocks to aid in India's success at the inaugural ICC World T20 in 2007. A fifty in only his third ODI innings while chasing an elusive target against Pakistan later in the year, combined with sensational all-round displays in the IPL, convinced many to regard Sharma as the future of Indian cricket.
He kept his place in the ODI team since then, either as a lower or a higher middle-order batsman. Often, despite Sharma scoring decent knocks it eventually resulted in Indian defeats, a quality reminiscent of his contemporary Sachin Tendulkar.
He was in line to make his Test debut against South Africa in 2010 replacing an injured Laxman, but a last-minute injury to Sharma himself deferred a maiden Test cap.
Fast Facts
- Only 3 of his 10 40+ knocks (100s: 2, 50s: 7, 40s: 3) in ODIs have resulted in Indian victories.
- He was the fifth bowler to take an IPL hat-trick and was awarded the best U-23 player in the tournament's 2nd edition.
