Rohit Sharma, the India captain, enjoys a massive fan following not just in India but all over the world. However, the Mumbai talent often gets mobbed by his sea of fans when in the city. A similar incident happened when, during the net session in Mumbai, he was mobbed by fans and had a comical encounter with them.

Rohit Sharma experiences an overwhelming fan encounter.

Indian team captain Rohit Sharma recently had another overwhelming fan encounter that caused quite a stir. This cricketing icon, who in June 2024 lifted the T20 World Cup, is known for his enigmatic presence on and off the field. As the 37-year-old cricketer prepared for the upcoming 3-match Test series against New Zealand, a routine training session at the Reliance Corporate Park Cricket Ground in Mumbai, he had a rather comical encounter with his fans.

Fans storm the field to meet Rohit Sharma.

A video has now gone viral on social media, capturing the moment where a group of enthusiastic fans, eager to see their cricket hero up close, stormed the field, forcing the Indian team captain to make a quick exit. He was caught off guard by the sudden influx of fans and was seen jogging off the field. He then gestured to them, asking them to settle down. He dashed toward his Lamborghini to avoid more disruption, but fans sprinted alongside his car. Despite the overwhelming fan attention, Rohit made sure to interact with his fans. Earlier in the day, he drove his blue luxury car through a crowd of supporters and took the time to wave and acknowledge their cheers and enthusiasm.

Rohit Sharma also rolled down his car window to extend his birthday wishes to a female fan who mentioned it was her birthday. With a warm smile, he shook her hand and gave his young fan a cherished memory for a lifetime.

Rohit Sharma will be seen back in action next week when India takes on New Zealand in a three-match Test series. India began their home session with a stunning 2-0 clean sweep over Bangladesh earlier this month.
