From India's World T20 hero to DSP: Here's how Joginder Sharma's life underwent massive change

As the Indian Cricket Team gears up for their sixth World T20 campaign, does anyone remember the man whose crucial last over in the final of the inaugural World T20 event in South Africa gave the Men in Blue a chance to stand on top of the world after 24 years? Yes, Joginder Sharma is the man in question whose medium paced delivery was scooped up in the air by Misbah-ul-Haq when Pakistan need just six runs off the last four balls. Sreesanth easily held on to the catch to send a cricketing crazy nation into frenzy.

These days the all-rounder from Haryana wears a 'khaki' instead of Indian Cricket Team's quintessential blue and looks after the law and order of Haryana. After the World T20, Joginder was given a job with the Haryana Police. He rose through the ranks and is now Deputy Superintendent of Police. The short statured cricketer recently attended his friend and current Indian player, Mohit Sharma's wedding and from the pictures uploaded on his Facebook account, it seems that he is happy doing his new job.

Joginder never played another T20I after that historic final match but he was a regular member of the Chennai Super Kings in Indian Premier League (IPL). Joginder who quit domestic cricket last year played four ODIs and four T20Is for India. In first class cricket the all-rounder has scored 2689 runs and bagged 289 wickets.
