Rohit Sharma

Description: (Indian Cricketer Who Holds the World Record for the Highest Individual Score in ODIs)

Rohit Sharma is an Indian international cricketer who currently serves as the Vice captain of the Indian ODI and T20 teams. He is the captain of the Mumbai Indians IPL team. The right-handed batsman is better known as ‘The Hitman’ for his hard-hitting ability, and has scored a record three double-centuries in ODIs, with centuries in Test and T20 formats as well. Starting his career at the age of 20, he quickly earned praise for his calm and matured performance. However, a rough patch and an untimely injury had halted his ODI run and his Test debut during his early career. Thanks to the new IPL T20 competition, he was able to showcase his capacity as a batsman, an occasional bowler and a captain. He excelled especially in the limited-over formats after being promoted to the opening spot. Despite a delayed Test debut, he showed class with back-to back centuries in his first two matches.
