Sharma as one of the leading run scorers in IPL 2008

Rohit Sharma is one of the most successful players in the Indian Premier League, scoring over 4,000 runs.

He initially signed for the Deccan Chargers for $750,000 a year in 2008 and was one of the leading run scorers in that season with 404 runs at an average of 36.72.

In 2011, he moved to Mumbai Indians for $2 million and has remained an important part of their team, becoming the captain in 2013. He remains the only captain to have led his team to three IPL titles.

Sharma made his Test debut in 2013 and scored 177, following it up with 111 not out in the next Test. In doing so, he became the third Indian cricketer to score back-to-back centuries in their first two Tests.
