A hilarious interaction between Rohit Sharma and an emotional fan during a selfie moment has taken social media by storm amid IPL 2026.
Rohit Sharma once again found himself trending on social media, this time due to an awkward yet funny encounter with a fan outside the Mumbai Indians team bus.
The Mumbai Indians batter was heading back towards the team bus when an excited fan approached him for a selfie. Despite the team preparing to leave and a hectic IPL schedule in place, Rohit paused to take the picture, continuing his usual habit of interacting warmly with supporters.

The fan repeatedly requested Rohit to wait while fixing the issue with her phone. Although visibly awkward during the delay, the veteran batter still stayed back and eventually posed for the picture once the phone started working again.
