Whenever Rohit Sharma is mentioned, a picture is formed in everyone’s mind that he is one of the successful batsmen and captains of white ball cricket. However, no player in the world will be more unlucky than him from a World Cup point of view. On Sunday, November 19, at the world’s largest cricket stadium, the Rohit Sharma-led Indian team lost to Australia in the World Cup 2023 final. However, there are many reasons why Rohit Sharma is the unlucky player in the history of Cricket World Cup.
First World Cup
Rohit Sharma, who made his international debut in 2007, was all set to play the 2011 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup. He was included in the list of potential players, but chief selector Chris Srikkanth and captain MS Dhoni opted for leg-spinner Piyush Chawla instead. He thus missed out on his first World Cup appearance, while debutant Virat Kohli got the chance after him. This is how Rohit Sharma missed the first World Cup.

Second World Cup
Rohit Sharma had to wait for 8 years to make his ODI cricket World Cup debut. In 2015, he played in the World Cup in Australia under the captaincy of MS Dhoni, but was heartbroken in the semi-final, as even after a decent start, the middle order did not perform well and the team lost in the semi-final. was eliminated from the final match and the World Cup. In that tournament, Rohit Sharma scored a total of 330 runs with a century and two half-centuries.
Third World Cup
In 2019, he came to play the World Cup again and did something amazing, which has never happened in the history of the World Cup. Rohit Sharma scored five centuries in a single World Cup and took the team to the semi-finals as the number one. However, Rohit, who scored five centuries, got out early in the semi-final against New Zealand and the team came under pressure and India lost that semi-final match as well. He was the top run scorer of the tournament.
…no shame; Sunil Gavaskar thus boosted the morale of Team India
Fourth World Cup
This time Rohit Sharma himself was the captain of the team and he did everything possible for the team. He was neither concerned about his half-century nor his century. He only played for the team and managed to get off to a fast start each time. However, they missed out on lifting the World Cup here as well. He scored 597 runs, but failed to win the trophy. Australian opener Travis Head also admitted that Rohit Sharma is the unluckiest player.
