Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma celebrates his 35th birthday today, 30 April. Nicknamed ‘The Hitman’, he is one of the country’s most successful openers and the current captain of the Indian side.
Born in 1987 in Nagpur’s Bansod, Sharma made his Ranji Trophy debut for Mumbai in the 2006-07 season. He later made headlines in the 2009-10 season, after scoring an unbeaten triple-hundred against Gujarat.
Due to his hard work, Sharma joined the national team and made his ODI debut against Ireland in 2007 in Belfast. That same year, he played his first T20I in the inaugural edition of the T20 World Cup, which India won after beating Pakistan in the final.
From making his T20I debut to becoming the only batter to hit three double centuries in ODI cricket, Rohit Sharma has been dependable in all formats of the game.
Apart from ruling in his professional life, the right-handed batter is also quite attached to his family. His father Gurunath Sharma worked in a storehouse of a transportation company while his mother Purnima is a homemaker. He also has a younger brother named Vishal.
On 13 December, 2015, Sharma married his girlfriend Ritika Sajdeh, who is also his manager. After three years of marriage, Sharma and Sajdeh welcomed their baby girl on 31 December, 2018. The couple named their daughter Samaira. Sharma quite often shares images and videos of him playing with his daughter or spending quality time with his family.
As The Hitman turns a year older, here are some pictures of him spending time with family:
