Netizens Troll Rohit Sharma for Saving Wife’s Phone But Not India in Big Games

The ‘Hitman’ may have let his team down at The Oval but he certainly did not disappoint Mrs. Sharma

Indian skipper Rohit Sharma jumped into the ocean to save his wife, Ritika Sajdeh’s precious phone.

The Indian captain may have let down his team at The Oval, but he certainly did not disappoint his wife as he displayed his heroics off the field during a family vacation. The incident took place while the couple was enjoying their exotic getaway.

Though Rohit earned a few ‘brownie points’ from Ritika, netizens teased the ‘Hitman’ for saving his ability to save drowning phones but not Team India in crunch matches.

Ritika, Rohit’s wife, shared a picture on social media showing him standing on a dock, drenched but triumphant. In her caption, she humorously explained, “My phone fell into the water and this guy jumped in to save it,” accompanied by a heart emoji.

While many fans commended Rohit for his act of chivalry, netizens couldn’t resist adding a touch of humor to the situation. Given Rohit Sharma’s current scrutiny as a cricketer and captain, some playful comments surfaced. One fan tweeted,

This guy never jumps in to save India in big matches.

It’s worth noting that Rohit Sharma has faced criticism for his captaincy and the Indian team’s performance in recent ICC events. The disappointment of India’s loss to Australia in the 2023 ICC World Test Championship at The Oval still lingers in the minds of fans.
