10 cricketers who became batters after starting as bowlers in their career

4. Rohit Sharma

Rohit Sharma was initially a bowler who could bat. But with time, he became a batter. Nowadays, he is a genuine batter who does not bowl. There have been a lot of changes in Rohit’s career. He was initially an off-spinner. He later became a middle-order batter in the Indian team. Sharma was handy as a bowler. But in the 2010s, Rohit stopped bowling and concentrated entirely on his batting. In 2013, Rohit became a full-time opener in the Indian team. The Indian opener is now one of the best batters in world cricket in all the formats. Rohit has a legacy for himself already as a batter and as a captain of the Indian team.
