3 Dark secrets of Rohit Sharma that no one knows

Rohit Sharma is one of the biggest names in the sports industry currently and has made a huge name for himself. The T20 World Cup-winning captain has made and broken several world records. His fearless and attacking approach has also given him the nickname of ‘Hitman’.

Rohit remains in the limelight mainly for incidents on the field rather than off the field. However, there have been instances when he grabbed attention off the field. Let us take a look at 3 secrets that might not be known to many.

1. Accidental like of a KL Rahul meme

Rohit had a sensational run at the 2019 World Cup where he broke several records. He amassed a total of 648 runs in 9 matches, which included as many as 5 centuries, the most by any batter. He was on a roll for that period of time.

However, in the longest format of the game, he was still not backed by the team even after such a great performance. KL Rahul was the first choice of the team, who had been performing poorly in 2018 as well as 2019. 

This is when a meme regarding Rahul being overrated was posted on the social media and allegedly, Sharma had liked the meme. However, he unliked it pretty soon but the news had already reached a huge number of people through screenshots of the same.

2. Lashing out at audience 

Rohit has often been seen in the same light and compared to MS Dhoni for his calm and composed demeanor. He has had a laid-back attitude and doesn't give out much in terms of getting angry at others.

It has not been seen much of him losing his cool, however, there is an old video of him where he can be seen lashing out at someone.

During one of the nets session in the early days of his career with the Indian cricket team, allegedly a drunk fan visited the team’s net session and started creating a ruckus. The fan kept on with his slangs at the team and especially towards the batter.

This is when Rohit lost his temper and gave it back to the fan. The other teammates around him also backed him. The team effort ultimately led to the fan apologising for his behaviour.

3. Connection with Salman Khan 

Bollywood and cricket stars have had a long history of connections. There have been several couples between these two industries and mingling between them has been extremely common.

Rohit had been married to Ritika Sajdeh and has been leading a happy married life for years now. Ritika is the cousin of Bunty and Seema Sajdeh. Ritika and Bunty, both have been in the sports and entertainment business from quite some time and share a close bond.

Seema Sajdeh, sister of Bunty and cousin of Ritika, was once married to Sohail Khan, the younger brother of Salman Khan. By this connection, Rohit Sharma was once a distant relative of Salman Khan.
