5 Players who debuted with Rohit Sharma – Where are they now?

Rohit Sharma made his international debut against Ireland in an ODI match at the Civil Service Cricket Club in Belfast on June 23, 2007. He was a part of the Indian team that won the inaugural T20 World Cup in 2007. Rohit played some crucial knocks during the tournament.

The Mumbai batter also played an instrumental role in India's triumph in the 2013 Champions Trophy. After being appointed as the captain of the Indian team, he led the Men in Blue to back-to-back victories in ICC events - the T20 World Cup in 2024 and Champions Trophy in 2025. Apart from his international achievements, Rohit is a six-time IPL winner, with five of his six IPL titles coming as a captain.

Rohit has played 67 Tests, 274 ODIs, and 159 T20Is, having amassed 4301 Test runs, 11176 ODI runs, and 4231 runs in T20Is. He may have retired from Test and T20I Cricket, but he is still playing ODIs for the national team.

5. Joginder Sharma

Joginder Sharma made his international debut in December 2004 against Bangladesh. However, his T20I debut came in September 2007 against England during a T20 World Cup 2007 clash in Durban. He played four matches in the marquee event and bowled two iconic 20th overs under pressure against Australia in the semi-finals and Pakistan in the final.

Joginder only played four ODIs and as many T20Is in his career, with the final against Pakistan being his last international appearance. He joined the Haryana police later in 2007, while still being an active cricketer. In 2023, he retired from all forms of cricket. He currently holds the rank of a DSP (Deputy Superintendent of Police) in the Haryana Police.
