What is the Khel Talk around his birthday in 2020?
This year in 2020, Rohit Sharma is celebrating his birthday, not with his Mumbai Indians teammates but his family.

The Indian star opener made his India debut as early as 2007. Even though the Mumbai batsman came up with quite a lot of memorable performances in the nascent stages of his international career, he moved up the ladder at a snail’s pace. Wherein his journey took a big turn for the better of both his individual sake and for team India when he was asked to open for the Indian team in 2013.

What are the highlighting numbers for the Hitman?
When it comes to T20, ODI, Rohit is an undisputed champion. He has a unicorn touch in this. The Mumbai Indians skipper is the most successful captain in the IPL with four titles, one more than his former captain and India teammate Mahinder Singh Dhoni.

The Hitman had shown glimpses of excellence in the Test format. Adding on and capitalizing on the opportunities he got, the Mumbai batsman stamped his authority when he was asked to open for India in two thousand and nineteen. Rohit demolished a fast South African bowling attack at home, hitting a hundred in his first Test match as an opener. Rohit Sharma carried on and made the occasion even more special in Visakhapatnam by making it twin hundreds in the Test series.
He did not stop then and there. Instead, he did the double magic! Rohit followed that hundred up with a double hundred in the series finale in Ranchi. Thereby making sure that the team did not look beyond him for the Test opener’s role. Rohit Sharma is very well-acknowledged that he was waiting for an opportunity to play competitive Test cricket in New Zealand but a calf injury kept him out of the two-match bilateral-Test series against the Kiwis.
