On Thursday, September 19, the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai witnessed an electrifying atmosphere as Indian Test and ODI captain Rohit Sharma took the field for the ongoing Test match against Bangladesh. The crowd’s fervor was unmistakable as they erupted in cheers, chanting, “India cha raja Rohit Sharma,” and “Mumbai cha raja Rohit Sharma,” when Sharma walked out to open the innings alongside Yashasvi Jaiswal.
The ovation highlighted Sharma’s immense popularity and the respect he commands from cricket fans. Earlier this year, Sharma led India to a victorious campaign in the T20 World Cup, securing their second trophy in the format with a win against South Africa in the final held in Barbados. His impressive performance, finishing as the tournament’s second-highest run-scorer, added another feather to his cap. Following the triumph, Sharma announced his retirement from T20 Internationals, marking a significant moment in his illustrious career.
