The cricketing world came together to celebrate the birthday of one of India’s most admired cricketers—Rohit Sharma.

Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit’s longtime opening partner and close friend, struck a nostalgic note. Sharing memories of their on-field camaraderie and off-field laughter, he wrote: “From chasing runs to sharing laughs, it’s been a legendary journey together. Happy Birthday, partner in crime.” Their opening partnerships defined an era in Indian cricket, and Dhawan’s tribute perfectly captured the sentiment.

Former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh also chimed in with a powerful message. Known for his emotional tributes, Yuvraj posted: “Some build records, some build legacies – you’ve done both, brotherman! Hope you have an amazing year ahead!” The love and admiration for Rohit extended to Suresh Raina as well, who wrote: “From sharing the field to sharing laughter, it’s always been a pleasure watching you lead with calm and class… May this year bring you great success and happiness.”

Rohit’s journey from a young prodigy to one of India’s most accomplished cricketers has been nothing short of inspiring. Since his debut in 2007 against Ireland, he’s evolved from a middle-order batsman to a world-beating opener and a thoughtful leader. His records speak volumes. In Tests, he has accumulated 4,301 runs in 67 matches, averaging over 40, with 12 centuries.

As India’s top scorer in the World Test Championship, he’s led from the front, including a runner-up finish in 2023. But it’s in white-ball cricket that Rohit has truly made his legacy. With 11,168 runs in ODIs—including three double hundreds, a feat unmatched—Rohit is India’s fourth-highest run-getter and among the top ten in the world.

As captain, he guided India to the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy win and nearly repeated the feat in the 2023 ODI World Cup, finishing as runners-up after a ten-match winning streak. No one lights up World Cups like Rohit Sharma.

In 50-over World Cup history, he stands among the all-time greats with 1,575 runs, averaging over 60. He holds the record for the most centuries in a single World Cup—five in 2019. In the 2023 edition at home, he was again among the top scorers, combining aggression with consistency and striking at over 125. From records to leadership, Rohit Sharma’s career is a masterclass in resilience, timing, and class. As he celebrates another year, cricket fans across the globe await what’s next from the ‘Hitman’—a player who never stops evolving.
