Rohit Sharma Wins Hearts After Standing Up for a Child During Practice in Mumbai

Team India’s star batsman Rohit Sharma, who is gearing up for the upcoming Australia tour, has once again shown why he is admired both on and off the field. A video of the Indian skipper from his practice session at Mumbai’s iconic Shivaji Park has gone viral on social media — and for all the right reasons.

In the clip, Rohit can be seen intervening when a security guard stopped a young fan from approaching him. The guard’s behavior appeared too harsh, prompting Rohit to immediately step in. He shouted at the guard to let the child go and called the young fan toward him. His compassionate gesture quickly won the hearts of everyone present and fans online.

Social media is full of praise for Rohit’s humility and kindness. One user posted the video with the caption, “A security guard stopped a kid a bit too harshly, Rohit immediately intervened and asked him to let the kid come. Truly, Ro is one of the kindest souls.”

Another heartwarming video from the same session shows Rohit signing an autograph for a young fan wearing a Mumbai Indians jersey. When the emotional child began to cry, Rohit gently patted his back to comfort him — a moment that touched countless fans.

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are both set to return to international action in the upcoming three-match ODI series against Australia starting October 19. Rohit has been training hard under the guidance of former assistant coach Abhishek Nayar, alongside young batsman Ankrish Raghuvanshi. The two senior players will play under Shubman Gill’s captaincy for the first time, and fans are eagerly awaiting their comeback.
