India’s hero in the last over of the 2007 T20 World Cup final, Joginder Sharma is also a hero off the field. The 40-year-old announced his retirement from cricket earlier this year and was appointed a DSP in Haryana Police in June 2020.

Joginder Sharma had earlier performed duties during the Covid Pandemic and was appreciated immensely for his service. Recently he shared a glimpse of the Ambala Floods where he is working to rescue people and help out the locals. Sharma has been a dutiful cop and after serving the nation in cricket, he is now doing so by being a member of the police.

Joginder Sharma was India’s hero in the T20 World Cup Final against Pakistan in 2007, where he defended 13 runs in the last over. India went on to become the first-ever champions of the T20 World Cup. After conceding a six on the second ball, he dismissed Misbah-Ul-Haq on the third ball of the final over, and the iconic ‘In the air, Sreesanth takes it!’ moment took place.
