Joginder Sharma, Former Cricketer Helps People Stuck In Flood In Haryana, See Pic

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.

Joginder Sharma is still serving the country

The 40-year-old Joginder declared his retirement earlier this year, yet he is still actively serving the country.
