From a steady-middle order batsman to swashbuckling opener, Rohit has come a long way in Indian cricket and he is one of the most reliable batsmen in shorter formats of the game.

Now, Rohit is one of India’s most reliable batsmen in limited-overs cricket and he is the only cricket in ODI’s history to score two double hundreds. Thanks to big hitting, fans now call him HITMAN of Indian cricket. From being someone who could not afford to get decent training to becoming one of the most loved cricketers in India, Rohit has come a long way and many believe that it’s just a beginning.

We hope Rohit stays fit and keeps playing cricket.
