Rohit Sharma’s viral moment sparks fan frenzy at Vijay Hazare Trophy
A recent moment involving Indian cricket star Rohit Sharma has gone viral on social media. During a post-match handshake at the Vijay Hazare Trophy, fans mistakenly believed a Sikkim player had touched his feet. The incident quickly became a talking point among supporters.
The match took place in Jaipur, where Mumbai faced Sikkim in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025. Rohit Sharma’s presence alone drew huge crowds, with fans eagerly watching his every move. Throughout the game, spectators chanted ‘Mumbaicha Raja Rohit Sharma!’ in admiration.
As the players exchanged handshakes after the match, a Sikkim cricketer bent down near Sharma. Many assumed he was touching the star’s feet as a mark of respect. However, footage later showed the player was simply picking up his fallen cap. There was no intentional gesture of reverence.
Rohit, known for his warm rapport with fans, smiled and waved in response to the cheers. The Mumbai team, coached by Amol Muzumdar, continued to attract attention as the tournament progressed.
The misunderstanding was clarified after closer examination of the footage. The Sikkim player’s action had nothing to do with touching Sharma’s feet. Meanwhile, Rohit’s popularity remained undiminished, with fans continuing to show their enthusiasm throughout the tournament.
