Rohit Sharma Blazes Fastest List A Century, Wins Hearts with Humble Gesture in Jaipur

Rohit Sharma made a spectacular return to the domestic circuit, smashing an unbeaten 155 runs off just 94 deliveries for Mumbai in their Vijay Hazare Trophy opener against Sikkim in Jaipur. The dominant knock, which featured 18 fours and 9 sixes, ensured Mumbai chased down the target of 237 with eight wickets in hand and marked the fastest List A century of his career, coming off only 62 balls. This performance reaffirms his exceptional white-ball form as he prepares for upcoming international assignments.

Beyond his batting masterclass, the "Hitman" garnered widespread praise for a heartwarming interaction with a young fan at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium. As the Mumbai team walked off the field following their resounding victory, a fan breached security and attempted to touch the veteran opener's feet—a traditional sign of deep respect. Rohit immediately intervened, pulling the youngster up and offering a warm pat on the back instead, a gesture that quickly went viral and cemented his reputation as the "People’s Captain."
