NEW DELHI: Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, two of India's greatest modern-day cricketers, began their international careers around the same time, and both had humble beginnings before rising to global stardom. Their early career journey together is marked by a mixture of learning, growth, and moments of brilliance.
Rohit made his ODI debut in June 2007, just before the inaugural T20 World Cup in South Africa. He gained attention during that T20 World Cup when he played a crucial knock of 50* against South Africa in a group match and was part of India's title-winning squad.
