Wholesome Content Alert: Rohit Sharma Makes A Specially Abled Fan's Day In His Signature Style

India captain Rohit Sharma had a heartmelting encounter with a specially-abled fan. The person, sitting in a wheelchair, attended a practice session of Mumbai Indians ahead of their match against Lucknow Super Giants. He also got to meet Suryakumar Yadav in the stands. The middle-order batter spent some time interacting with the fan and clicked a selfie with him. The man then expressed his wish to meet the India skipper.

In a video shared by the Mumbai-based franchise on Instagram, the man could be heard saying to Surya, “Dada, I want to meet Rohit Sharma.” The cricketer immediately looked at the upper stand to find Rohit there while assuring the fan that he would let his teammate know about his request.

In the next frame, Rohit Sharma was seen greeting the fan outside the Ekana Sports City in Lucknow. The man also brought an Indian Test jersey bearing the name of Virat Kohli. The veteran opener smilingly gave his autograph on the shirt and clicked a photograph with the person. Dropping the video on X (formerly Twitter), Mumbai Indians wrote, “Wholesome content alert.”

The post has garnered massive traction on social media, with viewers showering praises on Rohit Sharma for his humble gesture. The comment section also had appreciative remarks for Suryakumar Yadav. A fan simply wrote, “Humanity and humility…. Dada Rohit and Dada Sky.”

Underlining Indian fans’ respect for Rohit Sharma, a user said, “This is what Rohit has earned.”

“Lucky Fans…Good gesture by Indian players,” commented an individual.

Rohit Sharma celebrated his 37th birthday on April 30, when Mumbai Indians crossed swords against Lucknow Super Giants in an away game. The opening batter, however, failed to make an impact on the field. He managed only four runs before losing his wicket to Mohsin Khan. Among the other MI batters, Ishan Kishan, Nehal Wadhera and Tim David only had a good outing.

Riding on their contributions, the five-time champions produced 144 runs in the first innings. Lucknow Super Giants also lost an early wicket but recovered well on the back of a 62-run knock by Marcus Stoinis. The KL Rahul-led side finally sealed the deal in 19.2 overs, securing a four-wicket victory.
