From sweet gesture to costly shot: Rohit Sharma stops guard for fan, smashes ball on his Lamborghini

Later another video went viral on social media that showed one his shots hit his Lamborghini parked outside the ground.

The video has Rohit going down for a slog sweep and smashed the ball out of the ground over what would have been the deep mid-wicket position.

As the ball went sailing over the ground, some of the fans shouted “gaya gaadi”. Rohit also showed some concern while looking in the direction of the car and then gave a sheepish smile under the helmet.

Rohit is still committed to his role as a senior batsman even though he is no longer captaining the ODI team. Under Shubman Gill's guidance, he will play as a specialist hitter in India's forthcoming three-match ODI series against Australia, which starts on October 19.

Later this year, Rohit and Virat Kohli are anticipated to play domestic cricket in order to maintain their match readiness for India's 2027 ODI World Cup defence.

The two cricket greats are now only seen in the ODI format after retiring from T20Is and Test cricket. Shubman Gill, the recently appointed ODI captain, also considered the crucial role the two veterans still play in the dressing room.

"The experience that we both have and the matches that we've won for India. There are very few players who have won so many matches for India. There are very few players in the world who have the same skill, the same quality, and the same experience. So, in that sense, I'm very happy," Gill said in the press conference on Thursday.
