Indore Traffic Police officer expressed his gratitude towards the Indian captain Rohit Sharma for his heartwarming gesturing. The senior opener greeted the official after the second T20I against Afghanistan that took place at the Holkar Stadium on Sunday (14th January).

As per the police official Ranjeet Singh, Indian captain Rohit Sharma gave him his autograph along with good wishes. He narrated that the last time when he met the senior opener, he asked him for the autograph but he couldn’t take it because of his duty.

However, India skipper Rohit Sharma remembered all this and while leaving Indore he gave his autograph on the paper along with some words. And gave it to the team’s bus driver and insisted him give it to the official, saying that give this to ‘Crazy Man Ranjeet’

The police official revealed about the development on his social media account and thanked the Indian skipper for his heartfelt gesture. He also added that Rohit Sharma is not only great because of sports but also because of these kinds of gestures. He stated:

“When the Indian team came to Indore for the last time, I met India’s captain Rohit Sharma ji. I asked him about his autograph but I could not take him due to duty, but the captain remembered this.

“This time while going he gave his autograph and his love towards me in words and gave it to driver sir and told him to give this crazy man Ranjeet. Hearty thanks captain sir for your love.. A player does not become great only by sports, similar thinking makes him great!”

Here’s the post:

Rohit Sharma notably has been one of the finest cricketers in India. He doesn’t shy away from meeting fans and taking pictures with them. The Indian captain often has been spotted spending time with fans and giving them their autographs. It’s fair to say that not only on the field but over the years has won hearts off the field as well.

IND vs AFG: Rohit Sharma under scanner for his underwhelming performances in T20Is

India captain Rohit Sharma recently made a comeback into the Indian team for the T20Is. After the 14th long months, he played for the team and returned to the ongoing Afghanistan series. However, his comeback is turning out to be torrid for him.

In the first match against Afghanistan, Rohit Sharma got out to run as a mix-up with Shubman Gill saw him bagging a two-ball duck. It was expected that he would set the stage on fire in the second game. But things got even worse for him as he bagged a golden duck.

Rohit Sharma with his two failures has come under a scanner for his poor run of form in the T20Is. There even have been calls to drop him from the team. The Indian skipper, however, will be having one more opportunity to silence the critics. He would be hoping to set the stage on fire in the last game against Afghanistan and make his case strong for the T20 World Cup 2023.

The last game between India and Afghanistan will be played on 17th January in Bengaluru. The hosts have already sealed the series with two wins in the first two games.
