Rohit Sharma is an Indian international cricketer, who is currently the captain of the Indian cricket team. Rohit Sharma is widely regarded as one of the best opening batsmen ever. He captains the Mumbai Indians in the IPL. On 13 November 2014, Rohit Sharma set the world record for the highest individual score by a batsman in One Day International cricket by scoring 264 against Sri Lanka at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
Rohit was later selected for the ODI team on a one-selection basis following his impressive performances in the World T20 and his impressive Ranji Trophy record.
These inspired performances in the World T20 and CB Series caught the eye of the selectors and warranted him an extended run with the limited-overs team.
He was transferred to the Mumbai Indians franchise in 2011 and has been one of their most consistent batsmen over the years. Rohit again proved himself on the IPL stage in 2011 and returned to the ODI squad for the tour of the West Indies.
ODI player Rohit finally delivered a breakthrough performance as an opener with an impeccable limited-overs tour of Australia in early 2016.
