Key Points
Rohit Sharma was born in Nagpur, but before he turned two, his family shifted to Dombivali and he spent his childhood with his grandparents in Borivali, a suburb of Mumbai..
Mohammed Shami is from Sahaspur Alinagar in Uttar Pradeshs Amroha district but played all his first-class cricket for Bengal, and made his white-ball comeback thanks to a stint with the Gujarat Titans..
Jasprit Bumrah was born in Ahmedabad to a Sikh family, and was picked out of the blue by the Mumbai Indians..
Born in the Mumbai suburb of Chembur, into a traditional Tamilian family, Shreyas Iyer was spotted by former India player and Mumbai coach Pravin Amre, at age 18..
Raised in Hyderabad, he was never trained professionally (and it shows at times), but he always runs in hard, and kept the team going when Bumrah was injured and Shami wasnt even in the picture..
