Watch: Multan Sultans fat-shame Rohit Sharma ahead of PSL 2025, fans blast franchise for 'shameful act'

Pakistan Super League (PSL) franchise Multan Sultan has come under a massive scanner for the video that they posted ahead of the upcoming edition of the league. The franchise subtly fat-shamed India National Cricket Team skipper Rohit Sharma.

The Pakistan Super League (PSL) is all set to begin on April 11, and the preparations are in full flow ahead of the league. The franchises are putting in the hard yards and also making sure that they keep fans updated about things through social media posts.

Pakistan Super League will see 34 matches being played

The Pakistan Super League (PSL) will see 34 matches being played from April 11 to May 18. Lahore will be hosting 13 matches, including two eliminators and the final on May 18. Rawalpindi will host 11 matches, including Qualifier 1, on May 13. While Karachi and Multan will host five matches each.

With the league around the corner, Multan Sultans came up with a video that went viral. The video featured the Pakistan Super League (PSL) mascot and the trophy. But what caught the attention of many was the voice used by the mascot to introduce the trophy.

PSL mascot used the voice of India captain Rohit Sharma with the comment "Isme koi kami nahi hai"

The mascot was using the voice of India captain Rohit Sharma and made the comment which he did during the press conference after the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. "Isme koi kami nahi hai. Ye bhi... arey aap mujhe pucho itna wo lagta hai ye jeetne ke liye. Trophy to trophy hai," the mascot used comments.

Here's the video:

Rohit Sharma's statement came when he was asked about not winning the ICC World Cup trophy. He mentioned that during the 2023 edition, the World Cup was everything, but the ICC Champions Trophy that they won is no less. His comments came after India beat New Zealand in the final.

Fans on Twitter react after Multan Sultans subtly fat-shamed India captain Rohit Sharma

The mascot that has been used by the Multan Sultans was a bit fat, and many speculated that the PSL franchise has fat-shamed Rohit Sharma. The owners, as well as the management, faced a lot of criticism from Indian fans, who weren't happy at all.

The Multan Sultans franchise was attacked on Twitter, with Indian fans calling out Pakistan fans. They, in particular, mentioned that they shouldn't have supported this if they criticized Brad Hogg for mocking Mohammad Rizwan. Here are some of the reactions:

While Brad Hogg's actions towards Mohammad Rizwan were completely inappropriate, Multan Sultans and @aliktareen have further undermined his position by sharing a subpar video that involves body-shaming the World Cup-winning captain, Rohit Sharma

It is OK to go with the trend but Multan Sultans and @aliktareen should be ashamed for using a mascot here and indirectly trolling Rohit Sharma's fitness pic.twitter.com/MS3HZQQnlQ
