Watch: Rohit Sharma visits a restaurant in Mumbai, fans arrive in numbers to see him

Indian skipper Rohit Sharma has had a huge fan base in the country for a long time now and recently had to move back to his hotel with a lot of fans waiting to see him at the door. It is always tough for a popular cricketer to hang out in restaurants, as the love for cricketers in India is unmatched. Right from leading the Mumbai Indians in IPL and going to captain the country in all three formats, Rohit has always had a special place in the heart of the fans.

The 35-year-old took up captaincy after the T20 World Cup 2021, and since then, he has been outstanding in terms of leadership skills, especially in the limited-overs format. He is yet to lose a T20I series since becoming the full-time captain and recently led India to a 4-1 victory over West Indies in the five-match T20Is. With the T20 World Cup 2022 arriving in a few months, it is important for Rohit to get back to his best with the bat.

Coming back to the fans, Rohit just stepped out of the restaurant named The Table when he was shocked by fans arriving in numbers to see him. He held his palm upon his head, and the security outside the hotel wanted the right-hander to stay back in the hotel. He had no other options as the roads were completely filled with people, and the breathing space was quite low.

Here’s how the fans reacted to seeing Rohit coming out of the hotel

Meanwhile, the 15-member Indian squad for the Asia Cup 2022 was recently announced, and Rohit will lead the side. The prolific batter scored a 64 in the first T20I against West Indies and has been giving quick starts at the top of the order. A lot more will be expected from his bat in the coming days given his potential and numbers in international cricket. Rohit’s first major assignment as the full-time captain will be the upcoming Asia Cup 2022, which starts on the 27th of August in UAE.
