A video of India star batter Rohit Sharma warning young fans who misbehaved with him has gone viral on social media, sparking a debate about fan behavior and boundaries. In the clip, two young fans approached Rohit while he was inside his moving car, and what started as a friendly interaction quickly turned uncomfortable when the fans tried to pull his hand and force a selfie.

Video shows fans pulling Rohit’s hand for selfie

As Rohit extended his hand out of the car window to wave to the fans, one of them first shook hands with him. However, both fans then tried to pull Rohit’s hand and get a selfie with him. The India opener was left disappointed with their behavior and warned them before rolling up his car window and driving away.

The video, which has been widely shared on social media, shows Rohit’s calm but firm response to the overzealous fans, highlighting the need for respectful behavior when approaching cricketers.

“Rohit Sharma is the greatest player of India and misbehaving with him like this is totally inappropriate,” wrote one user who shared the video on X (formerly Twitter).

Rohit shines in Vijay Hazare Trophy

Rohit was recently seen in action during the Vijay Hazare Trophy matches for Mumbai. He scored a brilliant 155 against Sikkim but was dismissed for a duck against Uttarakhand, showcasing the ups and downs of his recent domestic form.

The veteran opener will next play in India’s upcoming three-match ODI series against New Zealand, starting January 11. He will aim to carry his superb batting form into the new year after a memorable 2025.

Rohit’s memorable 2025 season

2025 was a landmark year for the former Indian skipper, as he scored tons of runs and broke multiple records. He led India to victory in the ICC Champions Trophy and achieved the milestone of 20,000 international runs.

Rohit became the top ODI batter in ICC rankings for the first time in his career and also climbed to become the third-highest ODI run-getter for India. He showcased his power-hitting prowess by becoming the leading six-hitter in ODIs, surpassing Shahid Afridi’s record for most sixes in November.

Rohit achieved the feat during India’s first ODI against South Africa at the JSCA Stadium in Ranchi, hitting his 352nd six in the format to overtake Afridi’s 351 sixes, a record the Pakistani legend held since 2015. As of now, in 279 ODIs, Rohit has slammed 355 sixes.

Rohit ended 2025 with 650 runs in 14 innings at an average of 50.00 and a strike rate of over 100, with two centuries and four fifties and a best score of 121 not out.

Rohit retires from Test cricket

In May 2025, Rohit announced his retirement from Test cricket, bringing an end to a celebrated chapter in his international career. The decision came after a storied Test career that saw him score memorable centuries and lead India in several iconic victories.
