The Pride of India, Padma Shri Rohit Sharma!
June 23 needs to be rechristened as Rohit Sharma Diwas. 19 years ago, a 20-year-old made his ODI debut. A couple of T20 World Cup titles later, with three ODI double-centuries and a host of other records under his belt, and still going strong, he’s a certified legend. His fans call him Hitman. The nation will call him Padma Shri. 🥹
From making his ODI debut 19 years ago to being honoured with the Padma Shri today, June 23 will forever be Rohit Sharma’s day 💙

President Smt. Droupadi Murmu honoured Rohit Sharma for his exceptional contributions in the field of sport. Over the last two decades, he has redefined white-ball batting at the top of the order, piling on daddy hundreds and playing a trendsetter in the T20 game with his havoc-inflicting avatar at the top.
A fitting honour for a legend of the game 💙
