It goes without saying that the Indian captain enjoys a huge fanbase worldwide as well as in his home country. Since making his debut in 2007, the swashbuckling right-hander has amassed tremendous numbers of runs and holds a lot of records.
Rohit Sharma, the captain of Team India and the Mumbai Indians, turned 36 on Sunday, and fans from all over the world sent him birthday greetings. As they presented an enormous 60 feet cut-out within the city, supporters in Hyderabad paid special homage to the star batter. Although The Hitman has a sizable fan base all over the world, the support from Hyderabad was truly unique. The cut-out photographs quickly gained popularity on social media since Hyderabad has previously seen this kind of fanaticism for movie stars.
On his 36th birthday, Rohit will be in action as the Mumbai Indians take on the Rajasthan Royals at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. In 2008, Rohit played his first IPL match with the Deccan Chargers versus the Kolkata Knight Riders. Rohit has played in 234 IPL games and amassed over 6,000 runs throughout the lucrative competition.
Mumbai Indians will try to win after losing their most recent two games to Gujarat Titans and Punjab Kings. The five-time winners' season was up in the air as it began with two losses, but they recovered with a trio of victories before the teams once more had a drop and lost the final few games. Their inconsistent form can be a reason for them not to qualify for the playoffs for a third season in a row.
A total of 6060 runs, comprising 41 fifty-plus scores and one century, have been achieved by the 36-year-old in 234 games in the top division. In addition, his stellar career in the league includes a record six IPL championships, five for MI as skipper (2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, 2020), and one as a player with the now-defunct Deccan Chargers in 2009.
