He came to prominence after a wonderful 2006 U-19 Cricket World Cup. His uncle helped him with some finances and Sharma joined a cricket camp in 1999. He made his debut at Belfast but did not get to bat. In the next game against South Africa were made only eight runs. He scored the highest number of runs in that tournament. He scored a record 264 off 173 balls against Srilanka on November 13, 2014. Rohit is also the only player to score two double centuries in One Day Internationals.

He made his T20I debut against England at Durban. In the finals against the arch-rivals Pakistan, he scored the most valuable 30 off 16 balls, batting at number 6. Eventually, India won the World Cup. He scored 2009 runs off 158 balls in that match. He became only the third player after Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag to score a double century in ODI.
his Test career has always been a crash landing. He is never India’s first choice batsman. Ajinkya Rahane always remains India’s first choice number five and rightly so. Rohit Sharma was then picked for the test series against West Indies in 2013. He scored a massive 177 on debut. His favourite cricket player is Sachin Tendulkar. Rohit Sharma is not known for anything other than his talent on the field. He is said to be a humble guy.
