Following a 2-1 series win in the T20I series, India will take on Sri Lanka in a three-match ODI series, with the first match scheduled for January 10 at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati. Regular captain Rohit Sharma will return to the side in the 50-over format and will lead the Men in Blue after sustaining a thumb injury against Bangladesh during the ODI series.

While coming out of the press conference, Rohit stopped by the crowd of fans gathered outside the stadium. One of the young Indian supporters wearing an Indian jersey was overcome with emotion, and the video went viral on social media. The boy broke down in tears after seeing his idol for the first time, and the Indian captain went to this fan to console him.

Why Are You Crying, You Are Just A Little Boy – Rohit Sharma

When Rohit sees his young fan crying, he goes to ask him, to which the young fan responds that he is crying because he is his favourite cricketer. After that, Rohit took a selfie with the boy.

“Rone ka kya baat hai, chota bacha hai tu (Why are you crying, you are just a little boy),” said Rohit Sharma. He then proceeded to pull the cheeks of the fans saying, “Itne mote mote gaal hai tere (You have such fat cheeks).”

Speaking in the press conference prior to the game, Rohit Sharma stated that he has no immediate plans to retire from T20Is. He said, “Firstly, it is not possible to play back-to-back matches. You need to give them (all format players) enough break. I definitely fall in that as well. We have three T20Is against New Zealand. We will see what happens after IPL. I have not decided to give up the format.”
