Social media is a funny place, especially when celebrities engage in harmless banter.
Picture this: On Saturday, Yuzvendra Chahal tweeted a picture of himself with Rohit Sharma and Krunal Pandya with a caption about his batting position for the next match. And, in no time, Sharma trolled him, calling him the '#GoatOfInstagram'. And, he didn't stop there. Here's what went down.
Rohit Sharma has been in terrific touch with the bat and has plundered runs at will. After amassing 317 runs in the Asia Cup 2018, he smashed 152* against West Indies in the 1st ODI. Rohit broke many records alongside skipper Virat Kohli. The player is in store to equal Sachin Tendulkar.
The Indian cricket squad, led by Rohit Sharma, left Mumbai on February 15, 2025, to play in the ICC Champions Trophy in Dubai. All of the team's games will be played in Dubai, while the remaining tournament matches will take place in Pakistan. It has been eight years since the last Champions Trophy event, which took place in 2017.
The Dubai International Cricket Stadium will host India's opening match against Bangladesh on February 20. On February 23, there will be a much-anticipated encounter against Pakistan. Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya, Rohit Sharma, and Shubman Gill are among the team's members. Eight players from the team's successful T20 World Cup 2024 campaign are joining the competition. They have experienced a setback, though, as Varun Chakaravarthy replaces Yashasvi Jaiswal and Harshit Rana replaces Jasprit Bumrah, who was sidelined by injury.
The head coach, Gautam Gambhir, and several support personnel traveled with the team. All of India's matches will be held in Dubai as part of the hybrid format of the event. The eight participating teams are split up into two groups; India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and New Zealand are in Group A. In Dubai, former UAE coach Robin Singh expects the Indian team to play on spin-friendly surfaces.
Indian opener Rohit Shama is the latest Indian cricketer to be associated with football, as he has been named India's brand ambassador for La Liga. While he becomes the first-ever non-footballer brand ambassador, he revealed which Indian cricketer from the current team is the best footballer.
