A fan’s joyful encounter with Rohit Sharma
While the Indian players were preparing for the upcoming match at the Pune stadium, a fan called out to Rohit as he was walking past. Her excitement was palpable as she shouted, “Rohit!”. The captain turned to acknowledge her, leading to a delightful exchange between the two. The fan, full of energy, asked, “Rohit bhai please yr autograph dedo,” (Rohit, please give me your autograph). Rohit graciously obliged, signing the fan’s memorabilia with a warm smile.
After receiving her autograph, the fan took the opportunity to send a personal message to Rohit. With genuine enthusiasm, she said, “Thank you so much, aur Virat bhai ko bhi bolna mera thik hai, unko bolna bahut badi fan aayi thi,” (Thank you so much, and please tell Virat that a very big fan came here). In response, Rohit smiled and reassured her, saying, “Bolta hun” (I will tell Virat). This charming interaction not only showcased Rohit’s approachable demeanor but also highlighted the special bond between the players and their fans.

High stakes for Rohit and Virat Kohli in the second Test
As the team prepares for the second Test against New Zealand, the stakes are high for Rohit and Virat Kohli. India are currently trailing 1-0 in the three-match Test series after suffering an 8-wicket loss in the first match. This upcoming game is crucial for Team India, not only to level the series but also to maintain their competitive standing in the World Test Championship (WTC).
Rohit’s performance as both captain and opener will be under scrutiny. In the first Test, he made a significant contribution with a score of 52 runs, hitting 8 fours and a six. Fans will also be looking for a strong showing from Virat, who scored 70 runs in the second innings, showcasing his trademark aggression with 8 boundaries and a six, but unfortunately their efforts went in vain. Both players are expected to rise to the occasion and deliver impactful performances in the second Test.
