However, it was Rohit’s reaction that made the moment even more special during the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26 match, as it was a masterclass in humility. Instead of ignoring the fan, the Hitman turned, broke into a warm smile, and politely declined the offer with a friendly gesture.

He acknowledged the fan and said, “No,” while waving his hand, which spoke volumes about his down-to-earth nature and his easy connection with supporters despite his global superstar status. Though the interaction lasted only a few seconds, it brought smiles across the stadium.
