New Delhi: Rohit Sharma had to navigate an unexpectedly awkward moment with a fan after a Mumbai Indians video went viral on social media. The clip captured the excitement of a woman rushing toward Rohit for a quick selfie as he walked from the field toward the team bus. Just as the phone was positioned for the shot, the fan suddenly noticed the device had switched off, triggering a brief scramble in front of the cameras. In a mix of panic and urgency, she blurted out, “Mera phone off hogya,” and immediately asked for another phone to get the picture done.
Rohit, who had already started moving on, found himself stuck between two realities—keeping the moment going while also trying to continue his journey. As confusion spread around them, the Indian batter looked visibly frustrated and responded with a deadpan question: “Toh abhi kya karu mai phir? (So what do we do now?)” The exchange was instantly picked up online, with viewers focusing not just on the fan’s mishap, but also on Rohit’s expression and his straight-to-the-point reaction.
Eventually, the selfie did happen. Despite the disruption, the fan managed to capture a picture with Rohit before he boarded the bus, turning a potentially awkward incident into a short, entertaining highlight for social media. While the video sparked plenty of laughter and commentary, Rohit’s name has also been in the spotlight for more significant reasons—his return to form for Mumbai Indians during IPL 2026.
Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh recently weighed in on Rohit’s impact, pointing to his match-winning innings against Lucknow Super Giants at Wankhede Stadium. Harbhajan suggested that the timing of Rohit’s comeback could have been even more decisive, arguing that if his return had come earlier, it might have completely shifted the course of Mumbai’s season. “It’s important to be in the middle. You can do only so much sitting in the dugout,” Harbhajan said as he analysed Rohit’s influence during the chase.
Harbhajan also indicated that Mumbai Indians could still keep a playoff window alive, provided the results of the remaining matches fall in their favour. With the season progressing and every game carrying extra weight, Rohit’s performances—and the ripple effects they create—continue to shape how the race for the top spots is unfolding.
