Happy Birthday Rohit Sharma: From ICC to Indian cricketers, wishes pour in as ‘Hit-Man’ turns 32

Indian cricket team's vice-captain in the limited-overs format Rohit Sharma is celebrating his 32nd birthday today (30 April).

Called the 'Hit-Man' of Indian Cricket, Rohit is the only batsman in the world to reach the 200 mark in ODIs thrice till now. He has scored the highest individual runs of 264 in ODI against Sri Lanka in 2014 at the Eden Garden.

Married to his long-time friend, Ritika Sajdeh, the duo are proud parents of a baby girl, Samaira Sharma. Post becoming a father this is Rohit’s first birthday. 

From the International Cricket Council (ICC) to Indian cricketers, the cricketing world took to Twitter to wish the Mumbai Indian's skipper on his birthday.

Happy birthday to India opener @ImRo45! 

He has scored three double-hundreds in ODIs – the most by any batsman – including the highest individual score of 264.

Can he add another double  to his tally at #CWC19? pic.twitter.com/FDvwxLYaNd

The Mumbai-born batsman has played 27 Tests, scoring 1,585 runs at an average of 39.62. He has amassed 2,331 runs at an average of 32.37 from 94 T20Is.
