ROHIT SHARMA
Another lil’ master?!

It was one of those nail-biting situations again. The finals of the T20 series, India vs Pakistan. Limited overs, young blood and arch rivals... it was India’s chance to wash away the World Cup 2007 debacle. And indeed, they did! Winning the Twenty20 World Cup 2007 answered many questions, one of them being the selection of young players in the team. And among those young stars was Rohit Sharma whose splendid performance in the series (remember that swashbuckling knock of 50 on a tricky Durban wicket) and especially the unbeaten 30-run knock against Pakistan played a pivotal role in India’s historical win.

“I grew up during a time when India saw Sachin Tendulkar as the biggest icon in cricket. Everyone idolised him and many players still look up to him. And being from the same place as him, it had a huge impact on me,” recalled Rohit when asked for his inspiration for choosing a profession which is almost considered a religion in India... and his inspiration was none other than the God of this very religion. “Every time I watched Sachin play, I got inspired to try harder to find a place in the Indian cricket team,” mused Rohit. If we trace some big names in the world who have created historical records, one would not come across many who’ve had a glorious beginning. And Rohit is another name in the league. With a sluggish start in the early years of domestic cricket, Rohit did not give reasons enough to predict his upcoming accomplishments. But his performance in the U-19 World Cup (where he was one of the top scorers) grabbed the attention of many, which then lead to his selection in the Twenty20 World Cup. And after the triumph in T20, there has been no looking back. Rohit also turned out to be a reliable pick in the CB series in Australia, where he made a significant contribution, especially with his match-winning score of 66 in partnership with Sachin Tendulkar in the first final. And with this, he has also proved to be amongst the most sought after players in the Indian Premier League.

With a cool and composed temperament and cavalier batting technique, this exciting young right-hand middle order batsman has just the desired combination to make him an able replacement for ‘the big three’. Indeed, for reasons obvious, Rohit Sharma, today, is being pegged as one of those whose footing on the pitch is going to be long and strong.
