Rohit, who is celebrating his 36th birthday on Sunday, is the only batsman to hit three ODI double hundreds. He was a member of Team India's 2007 T20 World Cup and 2013 ICC Champions Trophy triumphs.
This right-handed batter has entertained and mesmerised audiences worldwide with his classy strokeplay and calm mindset while batting or captaining his side. He is among the best players of Pull shot in the game, often employing it during powerplay overs in white-ball cricket. But there is also a patient and determined side of him visible when he dons the white colours. This versatility makes him a perfect all-format batter of the modern era.
Even if there are a lot of wishes, there is only one that stands out, that Rohit Sharma wins the ICC World Cup in 2023 to break the country's trophy drought.
