Rohit Sharma’s IPL Career has captivated many. However, this time the chatter was not about his batting. Rohit Sharma was the recipient of many kind words after a harmless encounter with a fan. Fans were drawn to his polite and amiable demeanor.
This precise incident took place after a Mumbai Indians IPL event. As Rohit Sharma was leaving, many gathered to watch and get photos with the former captain. Among the people watching was a kid fan who was fortunate enough to get a selfie with him. Right before the photo was taken, the kid’s phone fell asleep. Before they attempted to operate the phone, Rohit Sharma said, “Mera phone off hogaya.”
Rohit Sharma’s Response Steals the Show
Rohit Sharma’s first instinct was to walk to the team bus. Once the line he had to walk was out of enthusiasm, he retreated. With a big smile, he said in Hindi, “Toh abhi kya kari mai fir?” (So then what do you expect me to do?)

To paraphrase, his original quote was an apology of sorts, not designed to alter the original situation, but rather to let it be. This line generated many laughs from people in proximity, and the video began to rake in the views. Regardless of the overwhelming crowd and his no doubt busyness on the field, he was able to keep attacking situations. Fans were more captivated by his humorous response.
After waiting to solve a brief problem, Rohit posed for a selfie, creating a day-long memory for the fan. This moment shaped itself into a widely discussed moment for the last week of the IPL.
