Rohit Sharma signs jerseys for young fangirl before IPL

Rohit Sharma, captain of the Mumbai Indians (MI), had a touching moment with a young fan before the IPL 2025 match against Chennai Super Kings (CSK). The meeting took place at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai and was shared widely on social media. In the viral video, the young fangirl approached Rohit with excitement, wanting to touch his feet to show her respect. However, Rohit gently stopped her, smiling warmly instead. The fan then presented him with customised jerseys from both his teams: Mumbai Indians and the Indian national team. When signing the jersey representing the national team, Rohit took special care to respect the national flag on it. After this special moment, he happily posed for a photo with the fangirl, who was visibly emotional and grateful. This heartwarming interaction comes as MI is looking to improve after a rough 2024 season where they finished last in the league. With Hardik Pandya suspended for one match, Suryakumar Yadav will lead the team in their first game against CSK.
