Rohit Gurunath Sharma (born 30 April 1987, in Bansod, Nagpur, Maharashtra) is an Indian cricketer. Sharma is a right-handed middle-order batsman and occasional right-arm offbreak bowler. Having started his international playing career at the age of 20, Sharma quickly exhibited his athletic fielding and cool temperament to compliment his graceful strokeplay. He is pegged by many analysts to be a permanent fixture on the Indian cricket team in the next decade
Early life
Sharma completed his primary education at Our Lady Of Vailankanni High School, Mumbai. He was later enrolled in the Swami Vivekanand International School[2] on a scholarship, after his talent was noticed by the school's cricket coach at a summer camp[1]. He excelled in the Giles and Harris Shield school cricket tournaments[1], after which he was selected for the Mumbai Under-17 team [1]. He was later chosen for India's Under-17 and Under-19 teams, and made his mark at the 2006 U-19 World Cup in Sri Lanka, finishing among the top run-getters in the tournament[3]. He was enrolled as a student at Rizvi College, Mumbai, before he was called up to the national side. He has a younger brother named Vishal[citation needed].

[edit] List A
Sharma made his List A debut for West Zone against Central Zone in the Deodhar Trophy in March 2006, at Gwalior[4]. It was his unbeaten innings of 142 in 123 balls against North Zone at Udaipur in the same tournament[5], that brought him into the limelight[6]. Performances for the India A sides in Abu Dhabi and Australia followed, leading to him being selected for the 30 member probables list for the Champions Trophy[6], although he did not make the final squad. This was before he had made his Ranji Trophy debut[6]. He was also selected for the Challenger Trophy.
