Joginder Sharma
Under the leadership of MS Dhoni, India won their first T20 World Cup victory in 2007 with a thrilling finale. Dhoni, a famous wicketkeeper-batsman, trusted Joginder Sharma with the final over despite having the opportunity to select Harbhajan Singh. As luck would have it, Misbah-ul-Haq holed out to S. Sreesanth at short fine leg, and Joginder picked up the crucial wicket. The rest, as they say, is history.
The 40-year-old Joginder declared his retirement earlier this year, yet he is still actively serving the country.
The former India pacer shared a photo of himself attempting to assist those affected by the latest floods in Punjab and the other states while serving as Haryana Police DSP in Ambala.
In the tweet that Joginder shared, he is surrounded by other police officers who are also trying to assist the people while submerged in ankle-deep water.
Sharma is from Rohtak and formerly represented Haryana in domestic cricket. In an ODI against Bangladesh in 2004, the bowler made his Indian debut. He played for his country in four ODIs and as many T20Is overall, taking five wickets overall, including the crucial wicket in the T20 World Cup final.

Joginder didn’t play for the Indian team after the summit match, but he did continue to play at the domestic level before calling it quits early in February 2023.
For those who are unaware, North India as a whole, including Delhi, the Delhi NCR, Haryana, and Punjab, is experiencing catastrophic flooding. Rescue efforts are underway, with Army men also being sent to assist those in need during the crisis hours.
With 297 wickets from 77 matches at an average of 21.09 and an economy rate of 2.65, he had a strong first-class record. He also has 115 List-A wickets from 80 games, with an average of 23.22 and a 4.48 economy rate.
