Rohit Sharma has made a massive name for himself as one of the most proficient and charismatic batsmen in the Indian Premier Leaue’s (IPL) history. From his initial foray into the IPL in 2008 with the Deccan Chargers to becoming the heart and soul of the Mumbai Indians, Rohit's IPL journey is a tale of staggering rise and unmatched leadership.
Signed for a handsome $750,000 (INR 3,00,00,000) a year by Deccan Chargers, Rohit's early years in the IPL were marked by promising displays of his batting skills. However, it was the 2011 IPL auction that turned a new page in Rohit's career, as he was snapped up by the Mumbai Indians for an eye-watering $2 million (INR 9,20,00,000) signalling the start of an era that would see him become one of the most influential figures in the tournament's history.
Under his captaincy, the Mumbai Indians transformed into a juggernaut, clinching the coveted IPL title in 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2020.
Rohit made his IPL debut with the Deccan Chargers. It was a season of learning and adjustment for the youngster, who showed flashes of his potential. He scored 404 runs in 13 matches at a strike rate of 147.98. In 2011, Rohit was bought by the Mumbai Indians for $2 million. He quickly became a core member of the team, scoring 372 runs in 16 matches at an average of 33.81.
Eventually in 2013, Rohit was made the captain of the Mumbai Indians team, mid-way through the season and he never looked back, helping the franchise win 5 IPL titles out of 16 seasons.
