Rohit Sharma, the Indian cricket team and Mumbai Indians captain, celebrated his 35th birthday on Saturday. Over the last couple of years, Sharma has grown into his role for Team India, becoming the captain in all three formats. However, his Indian Premier League (IPL) team MI is not doing well in the 2022 edition as it is placed last in the 10-team league. On Sharma's special day, wishes poured him from all quarters. The cheekiest of the lot however came from Sharma's long-time India teammate Yuzvendra Chahal, who is playing for Rajasthan Royals, in the IPL 2022.
Buoyed by their thrilling win over SunRisers Hyderabad, Gujarat Titans stand on the cusp of becoming the first team to reach the Indian Premier League (IPL) playoffs in their debut season. Hardik Pandya, especially, has impressed several current and former cricketers with his leadership skills. With GT leading the IPL 2022 points table, former India skipper Sunil Gavaskar said that Pandya reminds him of Rohit Sharma when he was first made captain of the Mumbai Indians, adding that the added responsibility of leadership has transformed the all-rounder into a much-improved batter.
Rohit Sharma has gone from strength to strength in his last few years in international cricket. He is currently the Indian cricket captain in all three formats. Though his Indian Premier League (IPL) team Mumbai Indians is not doing well in the 2022 edition, Sharma led them to five titles earlier. He celebrated his 35th birthday on Saturday and his fellow players complimented him on his special day. While some shared memes, some had serious opinions on Sharma, the cricket. One special praise came for a former Indian cricketer and currently the mentor of an IPL 2022 franchise.
Sunil Gavaskar has pointed out that the leadership responsibility is doing the same thing to Gujarat Titans' (GT) captain Hardik Pandya as it did to Rohit Sharma back in 2013 when he was made Mumbai Indians' (MI) skipper. The captaincy responsibility transformed Sharma into a five-time IPL-winning leader and now Gavaskar feels that same script is panning out for Hardik. In IPL 2022, Gujarat have been a force to reckon with, winning seven out of eight matches to be on top of the points table with 14 points.
