A video of Rohit Sharma’s amusing and lively gestures during his entry at the CEAT Cricket Awards in Mumbai has gone viral on social media. The clip captures Rohit cheerfully saying, “Main Upar Jaaa Raha Hu” as fans eagerly tried to get pictures. One lucky fan even managed to secure an autograph on the bat from the former India skipper.
The 38-year-old cricketer stole the limelight after being handed a special award for leading the Indian team to the Champions Trophy title earlier this year. This victory marked India’s second successive ICC trophy under his leadership, having previously guided the team to a T20 World Cup win in Barbados in June 2024. Rohit received the prestigious award from Indian batting legend Sunil Gavaskar.
Currently, Rohit is focused on maintaining top physical fitness ahead of India’s upcoming ODI series in Australia. Although he has recently handed over captaincy roles, he remains a key figure in the squad as they prepare for the challenging tour starting later this month.
### Rohit Sharma on Facing Australia
As Team India gears up for the ODI and T20I series down under, Rohit Sharma described Australia as one of the most exciting challenges in international cricket. He said, “I love playing against Australia, love going there, people in Australia love cricket a lot.”
Rohit will play as a specialist batter for India and is set to open the innings alongside the new captain, Shubman Gill. Notably, Rohit has scored 990 runs in 19 ODIs played on Australian soil so far.
His tenure as ODI captain recently came to an end when the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced the 15-member squad for the upcoming ODI series against Australia, naming Shubman Gill as the new ODI skipper.
