- Birthday – Rohit Sharma:
The hit-man from Mumbai leading his city’s IPL franchise, Rohit Sharma was born on this very day in 1987.
Sharma came into the Indian team alongside Sachin Tendulkar and made an immediate mark on the game showing off his technique and skill in the Commonwealth Bank series in Australia. Ever since he has been influential in India’s victories and played a huge role in India’s 2007 T20 World Cup victory.
He holds the record for the highest individual score in 50-over cricket and is one of the very few batsmen in the world to have a three digit score in all the three formats of the game. Surely, Sharma will be an important player for Mumbai Indians and the Indian national team in years to come.
