New Delhi: Former Indian cricketers and KL Rahul wished Indian captain Rohit Sharma on his 38th birthday. Indian skipper and opener Rohit Sharma turned 38 on Wednesday, marking another year in a career that has witnessed some unmatched highs and traumatic lows, yet remains one of the greatest stories in Indian cricket.
Indian batter KL Rahul posted wishes for Rohit on his official Instagram handle,” Happy birthday Ro, Wish you the very best” KL posted on his Instagram story.
Rohit’s former opening partner, Shikhar Dhawan, posted on his official Instagram handle,” From chasing runs to sharing laughs, it’s been a legendary journey together. Happy Birthday, partner in crime.” Shikhar posted on his Instagram story.
Former Indian legend Yuvraj Singh posted on his official X handle,” Some build records, some build legacies – you’ve done both brotherman! Hope you have an amazing year ahead! Happy birthday, Loads of love always @ImRo45.”
Former Indian cricketer Suresh Raina posted on his official Instagram handle,” Happy Birthday, Rohit! Wishing you an incredible year ahead, brother! From sharing the field to sharing laughter, it’s always been a pleasure watching you lead with calm and class. Your journey has inspired millions, and I know there’s still so much more to come. May this year bring you great success, happiness, and time with your loved ones. Keep hitting those big sixes–on and off the field! Cheers to many more milestones ahead! @rohitsharma45.”
It was in June 2007, against Ireland, that a baby-faced 20-year-old Rohit burst onto the scene, displaying his immense potential and versatility with some impactful knocks during the 2007 T20 World Cup-winning campaign. Since then, the ‘Hitman’ has evolved into one of the bravest openers of all time, a tactical mastermind with a trophy cabinet worth envying, and the calm composure of a monk.
Having made his Test debut in 2013, Rohit has scored 4,301 runs in 67 Tests and 116 innings, averaging 40.57, with 12 centuries and 18 fifties, and his best score being 212. He is India’s leading run-getter in the ICC World Test Championship (WTC), with 2,716 runs at an average of 41.15 in 40 Tests, with nine centuries and eight fifties in 69 innings.
He is the 10th-highest run-getter of all time in the competition and was the captain of the team which finished as runners-up to Australia in 2023 during the WTC final. He has seen mixed success in Tests as a captain, with 12 wins, nine losses, and three draws, with most wins coming at home.
