Rohit Sharma, an Indian cricketer born in Nagpur, is one of the very few sportsmen who has received a lot of criticism on social media. Yet he is now Team India captain for Test and One day cricket.
It was pure hard work from Rohit Sharma that has brought him to where he is now despite criticisms. A right-hand-opening batsman and an off-right-arm bowler, started facing the International ball in 2007.
His batting average for the test is 46.88, with a top score of 212. His one-day batting average stands at 48.6, with a maximum score of 264 at wickets 2 and 8.
The notable remark is Rohit powers the world record for the highest score in a one-day international match. He had a memorable test debut at Eden Gardens during Sachin Tendulkar’s farewell test series. However, he was out of the Test match for a short while during 2017-18.
Rohit was recalled again for the Australia test series as a tryout on bouncy pitches. There were occasions when the cricketer was out-of-form in international matches and didn’t deliver as expected.
It is common for everyone to have ups and downs, but people criticize without a second thought. Unfortunately, Rohit Sharma was a victim of one such mindset.
Players like Sunil Gavaskar Sanjay Manjrekar, to name a few, were in the club, while social media Rohit haters were celebrating. However, things changed last year. His successful home series against England proved that Rohit is here, once again in full form.
Rohit Sharma became Team India’s new Test Captain by February 2022. It carried a note that states his leadership in recent times, remarkably commented by Sunil Gavaskar and chairpersons of cricket board selectors. So let’s see how Rohit Sharma makes the difference.
