[WATCH]- Rohit Sharma Receives Lord Ganesha Painting From Fan During Ranji Trophy Match

Rohit Sharma, the Indian ODI and Test captain, recently received a Lord Ganesha painting from a fan during a Ranji Trophy match. The 37-year-old participated in the game for his Mumbai team against Jammu and Kashmir last week but struggled with the bat, scoring 3 (19) and 28 (35).

This occurred amid a tough period for Rohit in Test cricket, where he averaged a mere 10.93 over his last eight matches. Due to this, the Mumbai cricketer stepped down from the playing XI and allowed Jasprit Bumrah to lead the team in the final Test of the BGT 2024-25 series against Australia in Sydney.

A user on X shared a video highlighting Rohit Sharma’s off-field moment during the Ranji Trophy match, showing the Indian captain accepting the Ganapati painting from a fan and signing her autograph. You can watch the video here:

Aakash Chopra confident Rohit Sharma will perform well in ODIs ahead of England Series 2025

Former cricketer Aakash Chopra recently expressed his belief that Indian captain Rohit Sharma will find his form and start scoring runs again in the upcoming ODI series against England at home. Discussing Rohit’s recent struggles with batting in one of his YouTube videos, Chopra stated:

“A time comes occasionally when you don’t score runs. You come even more in the headlines when runs aren’t scored even in first-class cricket. Then you are seen with a magnifying glass and kept under the microscope.”

”His time hasn’t been good. I feel he will still do well in ODIs. He shouldn’t face that much difficulty against the white ball. However, there is a problem and it’s been a slightly long time.”

Chopra further added:

“He is also a player who relies on timing. So he needs a little more eye-hand coordination. Sometimes age catches up. I don’t know what it is. These are just conjectures and we talk a little that this or that could be the reason. However, it’s a steep decline which I thought won’t be the case for him. It has been a steep sort of decline, which is slightly sad.”
