About Rohit Sharma

Rohit Sharma is an Indian right-handed batter whose international profile is built around timing, range and controlled power. The ICC lists him as a batter, records right-handed batting and off-break bowling, and dates his international debut to 2007.

Born on 30 April 1987, Sharma became a prominent Mumbai Indians leader after joining the franchise in the 2011 auction. The club's profile describes his emergence during India's 2007 World Twenty20 campaign and his subsequent place in Mumbai Indians history.

His batting record includes three ODI double-centuries, an exclusive mark in men's cricket history, according to the Mumbai Indians profile. That record reflects the scale of his one-day batting rather than a current aggregate or ranking claim.

At the 2019 World Cup, Sharma made five centuries in one edition, a tournament record identified by Mumbai Indians. This is a dated tournament landmark, not an automatically updated career statistic.

The 2018 connection is a dated leadership association: Sharma captained Mumbai Indians during the IPL season in which the official final report lists Mumbai Indians as the Fair Play Award recipient. It was a team award, not an individual sportsmanship award for Sharma.
