Rohit Sharma fulfills a young fan's wish, Rishabh Pant's special gesture leaves a lasting impression at dinner table meeting

The young fan was overjoyed as the Indian captain, Rohit, gave a firm pat on his back and kindly signed his autograph. Sitting next to Rohit, the talented wicketkeeper, Pant, struck up a conversation with the boy, asking him about his profession. The fan proudly revealed that he is an all-rounder in cricket and had approached Pant for his autograph too. It was heartwarming to see the young athlete's dreams come true with the support of his idols.

After getting a special treat from Rohit and Pant, he walked towards Jaiswal, and the young opener also signed his autograph on his T-shirt.

Rohit Sharma regains mojo ahead of Champions Trophy

Meanwhile, Rohit got his mojo back at the right time before the Champions Trophy and smashed a 90-ball 119 with 12 fours and seven sixes to set up India's four-wicket win over England in the second ODI. It was a much-needed knock for Rohit to shruff off the pressure as he was put under the scanner after an underwhelming red-ball season.

The Cuttack knock was a notable performance, marking his first ODI century since October 2023. His consistent form in the interim, with five fifties across 13 matches, showed his reliability at the top. This century is significant not only because it's his first in ODIs in several months but also because it breaks a dry spell in international cricket, with his last century in any format coming in March 2024 against England in a Test match at Dharamsala.

However, Rohit suggested that it was just another day in the office for him as his focus in every game is to do the job he has been assigned.

"In my mind, it was just about doing things that I do, try and bat the way I do. I've been here long enough... one or two knocks is not going to change my mind and the way I bat. But (it was) just another day in the office," Rohit said in a video shared by BCCI.
