Rohit Sharma’s response to a fan went viral during a Vijay Hazare Trophy match at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Wednesday, December 24. While fielding, the Team India and Mumbai batter was asked by a spectator if he would like to have a vada pav, a popular Maharashtrian snack.
A video circulating on social media showed the former India captain politely turning down the offer with a hand gesture. The 38-year-old made his return to the Vijay Hazare Trophy after a gap of seven years and marked the occasion with a sensational century against Sikkim.
Rohit’s rare appearance in domestic cricket drew a crowd of around 10,000 fans to the stadium. In another clip shared online, a supporter could be heard asking the experienced cricketer:
“Rohit bhai vada pav khaaoge kya?” (Rohit bhai, will you have vada pav?)
He replied with a hand gesture, indicating his refusal.

Rohit Sharma Matches David Warner Feat As Mumbai Register Easy Win Against Sikkim
Meanwhile, the aggressive opener smashed a rapid 155 from just 94 balls, hammering 18 boundaries and clearing the ropes nine times. With the knock, Rohit Sharma equalled former Australia opener David Warner’s record for the most 150-plus scores in List A cricket, reaching the milestone for the ninth time. Mumbai made light work of the 237-run target, sealing the chase in only 30.3 overs.
Rohit and young Angkrish Raghuvanshi (38) put on a commanding 141-run opening partnership to give Mumbai the perfect start. The ex-India skipper brought up his century in just 62 deliveries, effectively ending the contest before being dismissed for 155 by Kranthi Kumar. Sarfaraz Khan (8*) and Musheer Khan (27*) then guided Mumbai home without any trouble.
Earlier in the match, Sikkim chose to bat after winning the toss. Ashish Thapa led their scoring with 79, while Kranthi Kumar and K Sai Satwik chipped in with 34 each, and Robin Limboo added 31. Despite the contributions, Sikkim fell well short of a competitive total. Mumbai captain Shardul Thakur was the standout bowler, returning impressive figures of 2 for 19 from his six overs.
