Mohit represented India in 26 ODIs and eight T20Is between 2013 and 2015, taking 35 ODI wickets and six T20I wickets. He was also part of the Indian squad at the 2015 ODI World Cup where he claimed 13 wickets. In the IPL, he played in 120 matches for four franchises, Chennai Super Kings, Punjab Kings, Delhi Capitals and Gujarat Titans, collecting 134 wickets and making himself one of the most reliable bowlers in the death overs.
In his retirement note, Mohit expressed his gratitude towards the Haryana Cricket Association and thanked Anirudh Chaudhry for his mentorship throughout his career. He also thanked his wife for her continued support and patience through the highs and lows of professional sports.
Mohit Sharma won Purple Cap in IPL 2014
Mohit’s breakthrough moment came during the 2012-13 domestic season where he took 37 wickets under pace coach Ian Pont. His performances earned him a contract with Chennai Super Kings in 2013, where he excelled under MS Dhoni. In 2014, he even won the Purple Cap after taking 23 wickets.
He made his India debut the same year and quickly became a reliable supporting seamer in ODIs and T20Is. In the IPL, Mohit turned heads with his variations, famous for his slower balls, cutters and subtle changes of pace. During his IPL career, he took 57 wickets in the death overs alone.
After missing the IPL in 2021 and 2022, Mohit made a brilliant comeback with the Gujarat Titans in 2023. The veteran picked up 27 wickets and finished just one short of the Purple Cap. He followed it up with 13 wickets in the 2024 season before moving to the Delhi Capitals for IPL 2025. His last appearance came for DC earlier this year before being released ahead of the 2026 auction.
