New Delhi [India], April 29 : Star India batter and all-format skipper Rohit Sharma will turn 36 on Sunday.This right-handed batter has entertained and mesmerised audiences worldwide with his classy strokeplay and calm mindset while batting or captaining his side. He is among the best players of Pull shot in the game, often employing it during powerplay overs in white-ball cricket. But there is also a patient and determined side of him visible when he dons the white colours.

The batter used to play in the middle order for the first six years of his career. But the ICC Champions Trophy 2013, where he got a chance to open with Shikhar Dhawan, sent his career graph on a massive upward trajectory. He scored 177 runs in five innings at an average of 35.40 with two half-centuries in that tournament, which India won.A shot at opening the innings was a success and it transformed Rohit into one of the most destructive batters in the modern era.

He became the first-ever player to score five centuries in a single World Cup tournament.The batter is also the third fastest to 9,000 runs in ODI cricket, reaching the milestone in 217 innings. He is also the fourth fastest to reach 8,000 runs in ODI (200 innings) and 7,000 runs (181 innings).Over the years, he has established himself as a reliable test opener too. In 49 matches and 83 innings, he has scored 3,379 runs at an average of 45.66 and a strike rate of over 55. He has scored nine centuries and 14 fifties in the format, with the best score of 212.He is part of the Indian team which reached the final of the ICC World Test Championship in 2021 against New Zealand.The 'Hitman' as he is known to the fans, is also an absolute gun T20I player. In 148 T20I matches, he has scored 3,853 runs at an average of 31.32 and a strike rate of 139.24. He has four centuries and 29 fifties in the format, with the best score of 118.

He has led Mumbai Indians to five IPL titles as skipper (2013, 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2020), won one with Deccan Chargers as a player (2009).
