Rohit Sharma hogged the limelight with his performance in the 2007 T20 World Cup. He was picked by Deccan Chargers ahead of the inaugural IPL and stayed with the now-defunct franchise for three seasons.

Rohit joined Mumbai Indians ahead of the 2011 season and was named the captain of the side in 2013. Under his leadership, the team became the champions of the T20 competition in 2013, 2015, 2019, 2019 and 2020. Rohit was replaced by Hardik Pandya as the MI skipper ahead of this season.

Apart from Mumbai Indians, other IPL franchises like Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Delhi Capitals sent birthday wishes to Rohit Sharma. RCB dropped an Instagram post where they highlighted a monumental record of the Indian opener.

Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals shed light on the bond between their captain Rishabh Pant and Rohit Sharma. As revealed in the post, Rohit is a fan of Pant’s entertaining persona. He once said, “Rishabh Pant is someone who makes me laugh. When I need to laugh, I call him.” “Hope you get a call from your favourite entertainer on your special day,” DC wrote in the caption.

Legendary Indian all-rounder Yuvraj Singh also shared a beautiful video, marking Rohit Sharma’s birthday. The clip features several unseen footage and pictures of Rohit, who had shared the dressing room with Yuvraj for more than a decade. “Happy birthday, brothaman! May happiness and success flow as effortlessly as the big hits from your bat,” the former cricketer wrote.

Rohit Sharma will hope to make his birthday more special with a power-packed performance against LSG at the Ekana Sports City in Lucknow.
