A video clip has taken over social media, with users claiming it shows two young supporters trying to grab Rohit Sharma\u2019s wristwatch while the India captain sat inside his car. The precise moment and exact venue of the incident are still not confirmed, but the footage has reignited discussion about the limits celebrities should expect from fans. In the widely shared clip, Rohit is visible in the back seat, waving at supporters who have gathered outside the vehicle. What begins as a seemingly friendly gesture turns awkward quickly as two youngsters draw close to the car. Both attempt to reach for Rohit\u2019s hand, and one appears to try to pull the watch off his wrist.<\/p>\n
Reactions to the moment were swift. In the video, Rohit responds by raising the car window and signaling firmly for the boys to move away. Some social media users have suggested the watch is a Rolex model nicknamed \u201cGiraffe,\u201d with an estimated value of roughly Rs 3.25 crore, though there has been no official confirmation of the brand or price.<\/p>\n
While the off-field controversy circulates, Rohit Sharma has continued to deliver for Mumbai Indians in IPL 2026. The 39-year-old recently made a significant impact against Lucknow Super Giants, striking a rapid 84 off 44 balls to help MI chase a challenging target of 229. Mumbai Indians completed the chase with eight balls remaining.<\/p>\n
After the match, MI opener Ryan Rickelton spoke highly of his opening partner and the way the pair combined. He said, \u201cYeah, you know, one of Mumbai\u2019s greatest, one of India\u2019s greatest. So really enjoy spending time out there. We\u2019re fortunate that the wickets here at the Wankhede has been really good. And we\u2019ve been able to dovetail quite nicely and put bowlers under pressure at the right times and help each other out along the way.\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite the encouraging victory over LSG, Mumbai Indians are still struggling in the tournament, having lost seven of their 10 matches so far. Their chances of finishing in the playoff positions remain slim, but the win could prove important for morale. MI will now turn their attention to their next fixture against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Saturday, hoping to build confidence from the successful chase.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
