Rohit, who is a known fan of sports beyond cricket, was photographed with legendary Spanish football goalkeeper Iker Casillas during the event. Casillas, famous for his 25-year stint with Real Madrid — Rohit’s favorite football club — shared a moment with the Indian cricketer, much to the delight of fans. Apart from this memorable interaction, Rohit also posed for a picture with Tajikistani singer and social media sensation Abdu Rozik.
This appearance comes shortly after Rohit led Team India to a dominant 2-0 whitewash over Bangladesh in their recent two-match Test series. Fans can next catch the Indian skipper in action when India faces New Zealand in a three-match Test series at home, starting October 16.
With his off-the-field charm and continued success on the pitch, Rohit Sharma remains a beloved figure in the world of sports.
