Female Fan Reveals How She Managed to Get Autographs from Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja

Jaspreet initially hoped to meet Virat Kohli but missed the chance. However, she succeeded in getting autographs from Ravindra Jadeja and Rohit Sharma. Rohit, surprised by the method, signed the bat, making Jaspreet's day. Jaspreet also shared that she managed to get Jadeja’s autograph.

"Before coming here last night, I thought about what could be the idea. How can we get an autograph? Because I have never come this side of the stadium. So when I saw your video, I thought this could be the idea. Why not tie the bat first with this rope? I found it first. Rohit Sharma did it on a T-shirt," Jaspreet said.

"Yes, I tied this rope from the side and hung it all the way down. I was shouting because Sir had told me to let him play first and then you will get the autograph you want. But we wanted Kohli's, but we couldn’t get him. He left too. Then Bumrah left too. But luckily, we got Jadeja's. Then we only had Rohit. So we wanted to get his autograph somehow," she added.

"We were shouting to him to please give us an autograph. So when he was about to reach here, I quickly tied the T-shirt with a rope and hung it all the way down and asked him to sign it. He was saying, 'What kind of system is this?' I said I didn’t have any other idea. So he quickly gave us the autograph."

Rohit Sharma Under Pressure to Perform Amid Poor Test Form

Rohit has struggled with the bat in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy. After missing the first Test in Perth, he joined the team for the Adelaide Test, where he batted at No. 6.

However, it didn't bring success, as he scored just three and six in his two innings. His performance in the third Test in Brisbane was also underwhelming, with only 10 runs in the first innings.
