Rohit Sharma, an emblematic figure in cricket, continues to leave an indelible mark on the sport. From his early days in international cricket to leading India in the forthcoming T20 World Cup, Rohit’s journey is a compelling story of growth and greatness.
Early Days in International Cricket

Recently, a video shared by MI captured a nostalgic moment for Rohit as he reminisced over a picture from his youth, humorously noting his then struggle to grow a beard. This moment of reflection highlighted not only personal growth but also his extensive journey in professional cricket.
Rohit was seen in the video calling himself ‘a small boy’ and would also talk about how he had struggled to get a beard at that time.
“Small boy. No beard. I was struggling to get a beard,” said Rohit.
Rohit Sharma in IPL 2024
The 2024 IPL season has seen Rohit excel spectacularly. His performance, particularly a commanding 105 off 63 balls against CSK, underscored his enduring skill and pivotal role in the team, despite MI’s fluctuating success under new captaincy.
Record-Breaking Feats
Rohit’s innings against CSK was not just a display of dominance but also a record-setting moment, as he became the first Indian to hit 500 sixes in T20s. This milestone is a testament to his exceptional power-hitting capabilities.
Throughout the season, Rohit has been among the top run-getters, amassing 261 runs in six innings at an impressive average of 52.20 and a strike rate of 167.31, his best in IPL.
Rohit’s record-breaking performance against CSK also saw him surpass Suresh Raina to become the highest run-scorer in MI vs CSK encounters
Leadership and Legacy
As the 2024 T20 World Cup approaches, expectations are high for Rohit to lead India with the same fervor and success. His journey from a ‘small boy’ in cricket to a leading figure is not just inspiring but also a beacon for upcoming talents.
