In fact, a fan approached the former Indian captain near the boundary line and jokingly offered him Mumbai’s iconic street food, Vada Pav – a snack that the cricketer himself is fond of.
Fans asked, “Rohit bhai, vada pav khaoge kya? (Rohit bhai, will you eat vada-pav?)” and this immediately attracted the attention of everyone around.
Rohit Sharma’s grounded reaction won hearts
However, it was Rohit’s reaction that made this moment even more special during the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26 match, as it was a masterclass in humility. Instead of ignoring the fan, the Hitman turned, smiled warmly and politely declined the offer in a friendly gesture.
He thanked the fan and waved his hand, saying “No”, which spoke volumes about his down-to-earth nature and his easy rapport with supporters despite his global superstar status. Although the interaction lasted only a few seconds, it brought smiles to the entire stadium.
