The Indian team’s victory in the T20 World Cup 2024 final match has ended an 11-year drought of ICC trophy victories, much to the joy of Indian cricket supporters. Without Rohit Sharma‘s outstanding leadership, which guided the team to victory, the victory would not have been possible. But a tale of great hardship and determination lurks behind this magnificent accomplishment. Let us examine Rohit Sharma’s amazing path, which began with his financial troubles and culminated in his becoming the captain who won the T20 World Cup.
Early Struggles
The ‘Hitman’ of Indian cricket, Rohit Sharma, was raised in a modest Nagpur family. The family had serious financial difficulties, and his father was employed in a transport company. Despite these challenges, Rohit’s unshakable love for cricket led him to success.
Education and Early Cricketing Days
Due to financial constraints, Rohit was sent to live with his grandmother in Borivali for his education. It was here that he started playing street cricket, laying the foundation for his future career. At just 11 years old, he joined a local cricket club as an off-spinner, since the team already had many batsmen. His school coach, Dinesh Lad, recognized his talent when he saw Rohit’s wicket-taking abilities.
Rise to Prominence
Initially, Rohit batted at number 8 or 9, but his coach saw potential in his batting skills. In an inter-school competition, Rohit was sent to open the batting and played a remarkable innings of 120 runs, which changed the course of his cricketing career.
Overcoming Financial Struggles
Pragyan Ojha, a former Mumbai Indians player, once disclosed that Rohit Sharma had to deliver milk packs in order to pay for his cricket kit. This incident illustrates the financial hardships that Rohit had while pursuing his cricket career. His current net worth is more than ₹200 crores, and he serves as a brand ambassador for numerous businesses, such as Swiggy, Adidas India, CEAT, Oral B, and Dream11.
Triumph and Retirement
Under Rohit Sharma’s leadership, the Indian squad won the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 on Saturday, June 29, 2024. Cricket fans were shocked and in awe when Rohit announced his retirement from T20 Internationals following this historic triumph.
