Rohit Sharma made his white-ball debut in 2007 and was part of the T20 World Cup-winning campaign that year. However, he was left out of the 2011 World Cup squad after a series of underwhelming performances. Players like Suresh Raina and Yusuf Pathan were selected over him for the home World Cup.
Rohit Sharma's form in 2010 was disappointing, as he managed only 586 runs in 14 matches, with an average of 38.8. This led to his exclusion from the 2011 Cricket World Cup squad due to a series of underperformances.

Robin Uthappa said that Rohit Sharma worked hard and remained unfazed by challenges. Uthappa mentioned that the experience motivated Rohit to do everything necessary to ensure success and avoid feeling left out again.
"I think that omission from that 2011 kind of really channelized his focus in saying, I know this is what I want to do, I don't ever feel this again so I'm going to do everything that it takes to make sure that everything falls in line for me and at least that's what I feel from the outside," Uthappa concluded.
