India skipper Rohit Sharma is known for his quirky personality both on and off the field, with his witty one-liners and banter often sparking memes on social media. Sharma’s forgetful nature has also become part of his charm.
During the 2024 T20 World Cup match against Pakistan, he misplaced the coin for the toss in his pocket. In another instance, he forgot whether India was batting or bowling first after winning the toss against New Zealand.
On October 18, Rohit once again grabbed attention for his confusion.
A viral video showed him walking towards the Chinnaswamy ground from behind the sight screen, with netizens joking that he had lost his way.
Despite wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant calling out to him, Rohit seemed unaware, possibly due to the crowd’s cheers.
This amusing incident occurred on Day 3 of the ongoing first Test between India and New Zealand. While Rohit managed only two runs in the first innings, he bounced back with a vital half-century (52 off 63) in the second innings, helping reduce India’s deficit to 125 runs.
Alongside Rohit, Virat Kohli (70) and Sarfaraz Khan (70*) also hit fifties, aiding India’s comeback in the match.
