NEW DELHI: Indian captain Rohit Sharma recently found himself in a comical situation as he attempted to evade enthusiastic fans. The incident showcased the skipper's playful side.
In an effort to maintain his privacy and avoid being mobbed by the adoring crowd, Rohit resorted to a mischievous tactic.
After his training session ended, fans eagerly chased after Rohit, prompting him to sprint toward his blue Lamborghini to escape the massive crowd.
Rohit, who led India to a 2-0 clean sweep against Bangladesh in the Test series, is now preparing for the three-Test series against New Zealand, starting on October 16.
There is growing speculation that Rohit Sharma may miss one of the first two Test matches in Australia's upcoming five-match series due to personal reasons.
The series kicks off on November 22 in Perth, and there is a chance Rohit could skip either the first game or the second Test in Adelaide, scheduled from December 6-10.
"There isn't any complete clarity about the situation. It is understood that Rohit has intimated to the BCCI that there is a possibility that due to a pressing personal matter, he might have to skip one of the two Tests at the beginning of the series," a BCCI source told PTI on conditions of anonymity.
