Career path
Who is Sharma
Rohit Sharma's career began with early international appearances and an initial franchise spell at Deccan Chargers before he joined Mumbai Indians in 2011, where he has since been a fixture in the Indian Premier League. A right-handed top-order batter for India, he has built his reputation at the top of the order and also bowls right-arm off break. His one-day numbers are the clearest measure of that output: 288 matches and 11,895 runs. He has played Test and short-format internationals for India as well, and his senior career has spanned formats since his first call-ups. His Mumbai Indians association has outlasted the earlier Deccan Chargers chapter. Now in his late thirties, he remains an India international and continues to turn out for Mumbai Indians.
