Joginder Sharma’s name will be edged forever in the history books of Indian cricket. The right-arm pacer bowled the final over of the World T20 in South Africa in 2007. He was a hero for the entire nation. But, what can baffle many fans, is the fact the ball which got Misbah-ul-Haq out in Johannesburg was the last ever ball which he bowled in international cricket. 

After that famous win, Sharma found it difficult to make a cut into the Indian squad. Probably, he wouldn’t have been on that flight to South Africa in 2007, had Zaheer Khan not got injured. He played for Chennai Super Kings in the IPL. He represented Haryana till 2017, after which he hasn’t played any top-level cricket. He only ever played four ODIs and four T20Is for India.

During the early times of the lockdown, he once again came in news, when he was seen helping medical officials in their fight against coronavirus. He is serving as the Deputy Superintendent of the Haryana Police currently.
