Biography
Rohit Sharma is an Indian batter listed by the BCCI as a right-handed batter who also bowls right-arm off break. He has represented India across formats and has held limited-overs captaincy roles during parts of his international career.
In franchise cricket he is associated with Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League. Leadership titles inside the franchise and the national team are year-specific and should not be read as permanent appointments.
Career Overview
Sharma's career combines a senior India batting pathway with a long Mumbai Indians franchise association. This profile separates national affiliation from IPL membership and omits invented averages or match counts.
For format and scoring context, see Cricket Match Formats Explained and How Cricket Scoring Works on Crichub. Series hubs: ICC Men's Cricket World Cup and Indian Premier League.
International Career
The BCCI biography page records India debuts in ODIs and T20Is in 2007 and in Tests in 2013. The same official materials place him in a current Team India batting context as of the 2026-11-10 check.
National captaincy windows change by format and series. Crichub does not treat India captaincy as a standing title on this profile.
Franchise Career
Mumbai Indians retained Rohit Sharma for IPL 2026, according to the official TATA IPL 2026 player retentions announcement and Mumbai Indians' own retention release (both checked 2026-11-10).
At editorial check, the official IPL Mumbai Indians team page displayed Hardik Pandya as captain — a season-dated observation, not a claim about Sharma's franchise role beyond retention.
Major Achievements
- India international across formats, with BCCI-listed debuts in ODI and T20I (2007) and Test (2013).
- Retained by Mumbai Indians for IPL 2026 under official IPL and club retention notices.
- Detailed career statistics are omitted until Crichub locks a maintainable official table.
