Indian cricketer Rohit Sharma made the headlines for quite the unexpected reason from the ongoing Ganpati celebrations in Mumbai. The video that has now gone viral on the internet captures Rohit requesting fans with folded hands not to chant 'Mumbai cha Raja Rohit Sharma'. It is customary for thousands of Mumbaikars to come out and cheer for their favourite cricketer and sports star. However, it is also essential to maintain a respectful and harmonious environment, which was not the case here.
The video shows Rohit Sharma politely asking the fans to not chant his name and continue with the custom of cheering the elephant-headed God. This gesture has garnered a lot of praise and attention, establishing Sharma's polite and humble demeanor. As the video went viral, netizens took to social media platforms to share their views. Most of them admired the cricketer's gesture to keep the atmosphere pleasant and worship-friendly. Many called him an 'epitome of a gentleman', while many others opined that he strictly follows the protocol of not drawing attention to himself or creating a rift of any kind, especially when the objective is to worship.
It is safe to assume that fans would heed to his words, and if anything, cheer louder for their much-loved cricketer who is always gunning for higher goals.
