Rohit Sharma And Steve Smith Cricket Journey: Often something happens on the cricket field that surprises everyone. Sometimes we see a bowler doing wonders in batting and sometimes a batsman doing wonders in bowling. There have been many such players in cricket history who went beyond their initial role and did something that no one had even imagined.
Rohit Sharma and Steve Smith are two such players who have made their own identity in the world of cricket. Both the players were bowlers in the beginning, but later they earned so much fame in batting that today they are counted among the great batsmen of the world.
The journey from bowler to batsman
Rohit Sharma: Rohit Sharma’s story is inspiring. Rohit, who hails from Borivali in Mumbai, started his cricket career as a bowler. His family struggled a lot to send him to a cricket camp, where his coach Dinesh Lad recognized his talent. Initially Rohit was a spin bowler, but Lad soon recognized his batting talent and encouraged him to bat.
Dinesh Lad got Rohit enrolled in Swami Vivekanand School, where Rohit laid the foundation of his cricket career. His struggle and hard work in cricket paid off and soon he started playing for the Mumbai team. Rohit had to face many difficulties in his career, but his talent and hard work made him an important player of the Indian cricket team. Today Rohit is counted among the most successful batsmen in the world and is known as “Hitman”.
Steve Smith: Steve Smith’s journey is also similar. When he entered international cricket, he was seen as a leg spinner. In 2010, he made his debut in the Australian team and initially played as a leg spinner. In his early career, he was compared with Shane Warne. However, the 2013 Ashes series proved to be a turning point in his career. In this series, Steve Smith established himself as a leading batsman by batting at number 3. His unique batting style put the opposing teams in trouble and made the path of victory easy for Australia.
