राष्ट्रपति श्रीमती द्रौपदी मुर्मु ने श्री रोहित गुरुनाथ शर्मा को खेल के क्षेत्र में असाधारण योगदान के लिए पद्म श्री से सम्मानित किया। श्री रोहित शर्मा एक जाने माने अंतरराष्ट्रीय क्रिकेट खिलाड़ी और भारतीय राष्ट्रीय क्रिकेट टीम के पूर्व कप्तान हैं। श्री शर्मा ने आईसीसी पुरुष T20 विश्व कप 2024 और आईसीसी चैंपियंस ट्रॉफी 2025 में भारतीय टीम का नेतृत्व किया। एक दिवसीय अंतरराष्ट्रीय क्रिकेट में सर्वोच्च व्यक्तिगत स्कोर का विश्व रिकॉर्ड इनके नाम दर्ज है। श्री शर्मा क्रिकेट इतिहास में एकमात्र ऐसे खिलाड़ी हैं जिन्होंने एक दिवसीय प्रारूप में तीन दोहरे शतक बनाये हैं।
#MCAMemoryLane On 23rd June, 2007, young Rohit Sharma pulled on the India jersey for the very first time, making his ODI debut against Ireland at Belfast.
He came in at number seven but did not get to bat as India reached the target comfortably with the loss of only one wicket, but the journey that began on that rainy afternoon would go on to rewrite the record books. From Belfast to the world stage 🇮🇳
Did you know? Mumbai's icons Sachin Tendulkar and Ajit Agarkar were also a part of the Playing XI.

He was one of the youngest among all the awardees, and he was smiling like a child throughout the ceremony. 🥹❤️
The President was smiling too while presenting him the award, and she even talked to him, she didn't talk to anyone else. Don't know why, but the whole moment felt so personal.
