The fortunes of Rohit Sharma changed dramatically after he was asked to open
Rohit Sharma, who is known by the cricketing world as a batsman with three double hundreds in 50-over cricket and someone who can tear apart any bowling unit in world cricket in the white-ball formats.
However, there was a phase in his career, when the batsman never got going while plying his trade in the middle-order. That changed when MS Dhoni and the management decided to send him up the order in the early part of 2013 and it can be safely said that Sharma was never the same batsman after that.
