India captain Rohit Sharma had a light-hearted and humorous interaction with fans in Canberra ahead of the second Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) 2024-25 series Test match. Rohit Sharma was surrounded by supporters seeking autographs and selfies, and his reaction quickly went viral on social media.
The 37-year-old cricketer joined the Indian team during the Perth Test match. Sharma missed the first Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy due to the birth of his second child. He later participated in the practice match against the Australian Prime Minister’s XI at the Manuka Oval in Canberra.

The Indian Test skipper was asked for a selfie while autographing a cricket ball. Rohit humorously replied in Hindi after the fan's constant haggling. Amid the chaos, he humorously addressed the situation, telling one fan, “Ek time par ek hi kaam ho sakta hai” (Only one task can be done at a time).

Rohit Sharma batted at number four in the match against the Prime Minister’s XI. KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal continued their successful opening partnership from the Perth Test. However, Rohit had a disappointing outing. He was dismissed cheaply after edging a delivery outside the off stump.
The Indian team will take on the Pat Cummins-led team in the second Test match, a day-night match, at the Adelaide Oval, starting on Friday, December 6. It is unknown whether Rohit will open the innings alongside Yashasvi Jaiswal in the upcoming match, following KL Rahul-Jaiswal's good outings in Perth.
