Former India cricketer Joginder Sharma helps people stuck in flood in Haryana, See pic

The North India region, including Delhi, Delhi NCR, Haryana, and Punjab, are facing devastating floods. Rescue activities are underway to assist those in need during the crisis period, with Army men also being engaged. In the same vein, the former India pacer, Joginder Sharma, was seen helping people who were struck in the flood in Ambala.

Notably, he is currently serving as a Deputy superintendent of police in the Haryana Police. Joginder took to Twitter and shared a photo of himself attempting to assist those affected by the recent floods. In the picture, the police officer is encircled by his colleagues as they remain immersed in ankle-deep water.

“We Face what scares you Ambala police Team," he captioned the post.

Hailing from Rohtak, Joginder had previously represented Haryana in domestic cricket. In 2004, he made his India debut against Bangladesh in an ODI game. In total, he played four ODIs and as many T20Is for the national side, taking five wickets across both formats.

Sharma's memorable bowling spell against Pakistan made India first ever World Champions

Joginder Sharma was the hero of India's first-ever T20 World Cup victory over arch-rivals Pakistan in 2007. The MS Dhoni-led then-India team won the toss and chose to bat first, scoring 157 in the first innings of the summit clash.
During the second innings, Dhoni trusted Joginder Singh with the final over despite going with Harbhajan Singh. 

Notably, the pacer took the crucial wicket of Misbah-ul-Haq, who holed out to Sreesanth at the short-fine leg, as India registered a narrow five-run win. During the game, he had also taken the wicket of top-order batter Younis Khan. Joginder did not play for Team India after the T20 World Cup final, but he continued to play domestic cricket. He did, however, call time on his career earlier in February 2023.

He was a solid first-class performer, having picked up 297 wickets from 77 matches at an average of 21.09 and an economy rate of 2.65. Additionally, he has 115 List-A wickets from 80 games at an average of 23.22 and an economy rate of 4.48.
