Rohit Sharma Smashes Fastest List A Century, Wins Hearts with Humble Fan Gesture in VHT Opener

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. This dominant performance, which included his fastest-ever List A century (coming off 62 balls), ensured a resounding eight-wicket victory for Mumbai, chasing down the 237-run target in just 30.3 overs.

Beyond his batting masterclass, the Indian icon won widespread praise for a humble gesture following the match. As the Mumbai team walked off the field, a young fan breached security and rushed toward Rohit, attempting to touch his feet—a traditional mark of respect. Rohit immediately stopped the gesture, pulling the youngster up and offering a warm pat on the back instead. This heartwarming interaction quickly went viral, reinforcing his reputation as the "People’s Captain" and highlighting the deep connection he shares with his supporters as he prepares for upcoming international assignments.
