India captain Rohit Sharma is often trolled online for his bulky physique and he was subjected to fat-shaming once again on X after a fake image of him went viral.
Rohit was captaining India in the T20 World Cup 2024 warm-up match against Bangladesh in New York on Saturday. Cameras showed Rohit setting the field for his bowler, a still picture of which is now doing the rounds on social media.
But the picture shows Rohit with a big fat belly, which clearly has been morphed by some user and then posted it online.
Netizens immediately started commenting on it, with some even adding a babies picture with MS Dhoni's head on it. "Akaay getting a friend soon," the user captioned the picture on X.
Another user claimed that "Pakistani accounts were spreading fake morphed image of Rohit Sharma".
India begin with a bang
Rohit led India to a 60-run victory over Bangladesh in their one and only practice match before the start of the T20 World Cup 2024 group stage.
India posted 182 for 5 after electing to bat first with Rishabh Pant (53) and Hardik Pandya (46*) top-scoring. Arshdeep Singh then led the bowling attack with two wickets in the power play to help India restrict Bangladesh to 122 for 9 in 20 overs.
2007 champions India are placed in Group A with Pakistan, Ireland, USA and Canada. The Men in Blue will face Ireland in their opening clash on June 4 at the Nassau County Cricket Stadium in New York.
