The touching story of Rohit Gurunath Sharma.
Rohit Gurunath Sharma (born 30 April 1987) at Nagpur, Maharashtra, India is an Indian international cricketer and captain of the Indian cricket team. He plays as a right-handed opening bartman for the Indian national cricket team and for the IPL-side Mumbai Indians. Considered as one of the best white ball batter and one of the finest opener in the world, Rohit Sharma holds record for scoring most hundreds in a single ICC cricket world cup. He is going to captain India for the first time in a World Cup in the ongoing T20 World cup 2022.
Sharma was raised by his grand parent and his uncles due to his father's low income. He would visit his parent every weekend that lived in a single room.
Sharma joined a cricket camp in 1999 with the help of his uncle. Dinesh Lad, his coach at the camp, asked him to enroll in Swami Vivekanand 
International School, where Lad was the coach and the cricket facilities were better than those at Sharma’s old school. Sharma recollects, "I told him I couldn't afford it, but he got me a scholarship. So for four years I didn't pay a penny, and did well in my cricket". Sharma started as an off-spinner who could bat a bit before Lad noticed his batting ability and promoted him from number eight to open the innings. He excelled in the Harris and Giles Shield school cricket tournaments, scoring a century on debut as an opener.
Rohit Gurunath Sharma's life teaches us a very good lesson on success. Despite facing challenges due to his parents' circumstances, Sharma persevered and achieved great heights. As individuals who desires success in life, we should not be deterred by the challenges that confront us. Instead, they should motivate us to work harder and strive for excellence.
