Rohit guided MI to 5 IPL Titles
In the IPL, Rohit has shone brightly on the biggest stages, highlighted by the five championship titles he has led his team to since 2013.
Despite this, his journey in cricket has not been without its challenges. Early on, Rohit faced issues with inconsistency and was often criticized for being ‘a flat track bully.’ Like many others, he has navigated significant hurdles, but his rise to the top remains a source of motivation for aspiring cricketers.
Rohit carries his talent subtly, almost like an invisible cloak, rather than boasting about it. His charm off the field, particularly his deadpan humour on social media, enhances his appeal. Renowned as a stellar opening batter for India, the Nagpur-born cricketer continues to excel.
