Indian cricket captain Rohit Sharma’s popularity extends beyond the boundaries of the field, as evidenced by a recent heartwarming incident. A video circulating on social media captures a fan’s unwavering admiration for the skipper.
The fan, adorned with tricolour paint and “Rohit” emblazoned on his back, was spotted running behind Sharma’s car. His enthusiastic cries of “Rohit sir!” reached the captain’s ears.
In a display of genuine humility, Sharma instructed his driver to halt the vehicle and rolled down the window. The fan’s joy was palpable as Sharma graciously signed an autograph for him.
The exact date and location of the incident remain unknown, but Sharma is currently leading India in the first Test of the three-match series against New Zealand in Bengaluru. The opening day of the Test was marred by torrential rain, forcing a washout.
The remaining two Tests of the series will be played in Pune and Mumbai, respectively. Following the conclusion of the New Zealand series, India will embark on a highly anticipated tour of Australia for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. This edition of the prestigious series will feature five Tests for the first time.
Sharma’s gesture not only highlights his immense popularity but also underscores his genuine connection with his fans. His willingness to pause his journey and acknowledge the fan’s admiration is a testament to his humility and approachability.
