#2 Rohit Sharma

Rohit Sharma was handed his debut cap by his idol Sachin Tendulkar, in the series against West Indies at Eden Gardens, Kolkata.

West Indies were bowled out for 234 by the Indian pacers. It seemed that India would cruise through the proceedings of the game, but their progress was checked by the Caribbean bowlers, with half the side in the pavilion at 85 runs. India lost skipper MS Dhoni soon after, Rohit took the task in his own hands, as he notched a 280-run stand for the seventh wicket. He amassed a giant 177, with 98 of those runs coming in boundaries. Rohit enabled India to race to a lead of 219 runs, as India won the game by an innings and 51 runs.

Sharma continued his good form in the second game, playing his first match at his home ground the Wankhede. This time round, he walked in when the stage was perfectly set for him and made the most of the circumstances as he feasted upon the Caribbean bowling attack, staying unbeaten on 111.

He potentially batted Windies out of the game, as they lost total control of the game, losing by an innings and 126 runs.
