Rohit Sharma Makes Young Fan’s Day Unforgettable with Hug and Selfie in Australia News24 –
Rohit Sharma rediscovered his rhythm in one-day cricket during the second ODI between India and Australia, playing a composed 73 off 97 balls to help India recover from an early batting collapse. While Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill fell cheaply, Rohit looked in fine touch, patiently building his innings before unleashing his trademark strokes.
The Adelaide Oval was packed with fans, and every time Rohit pulled a shot or lofted a massive six, the crowd erupted in applause. His enormous fan following, affectionately known as “Mumbai cha Raja” supporters, was on full display, proving that Rohit’s popularity remains as strong in Australia as it is in India.
Heartwarming Fan Moments
After the match, Rohit took time to connect with fans, showing his trademark warmth and humility. In a Viral Video shared by OneCricket, the moment captured him hugging a young girl and her sisters, posing for photos, and interacting with supporters eager for selfies. One admirer gifted him a collage of portraits, which Rohit happily accepted, ensuring everyone in the crowd got a quick moment with their cricketing idol.

Return to the SCG
Rohit now prepares to return to the Sydney Cricket Ground after six years. His last innings at the SCG was a remarkable 133, though India ended on the losing side. With an impressive average of 66.60 in five matches at this venue, Rohit will aim to continue his form in the third ODI on October 25, even though the match is a dead rubber, with Australia having already sealed the series 2-0.
Rohit’s blend of skill, composure, and connection with fans ensures he remains one of the most beloved figures in world cricket, both on and off the field.
