NEW DELHI: Smashed for 84 runs in just seven overs by top South African batters on October 25, 2015, Mohit Sharma virtually went off radar after the last of his 34 appearances for India.
He was only 27 back then and had a very impressive ODI World Cup, earlier that year, under Mahendra Singh Dhoni's captaincy. His bowling in Australia had prompted former Pakistani pacer Aaqib Javed to praise his "heavy ball", which was a deceptive bouncer that came at a higher speed than expected.
