During India’s tour of Sri Lanka, Rohit Sharma’s most recent social media activity has caught the interest of online users. An image of experienced Indian opener Rohit warming up for his next white-ball assignment as the skipper of the Gautam Gambhir-coached team was shared in the lead-up to the One Day International (ODI) series between India and Sri Lanka.
On the eve of the third Twenty20 International match between India and Sri Lanka, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) also published the same picture. Soon after the picture became viral, Rohit decided to remove the post from his official Instagram account.
Among the top players to prepare before the ODI series against Sri Lanka in Colombo were captain Rohit and former captain Virat Kohli of India.
