New Delhi: Indian cricket team's full-time skipper Rohit Sharma is celebrating his 35th birthday today. During his 15-year international career, Rohit has attained several batting records which seem almost impossible to break. Rohit Sharma, the only batter in international cricket to score three double centuries (209, 264, and 208) in ODI cricket, was born on 30 April 1987 in Nagpur district of Maharashtra. As soon as MS Dhoni introduced him as an opener for team India in 2013, his career graph soared and he has currently become the captain of the national team across formats.
The cricket fraternity rallied on social media to pour in their heartfelt wishes for Rohit Sharma as he turns 35 today.
Virat Kohli shared an Instagram story which he captioned: "Happy Birthday Rohit Sharma. God Bless."
