Rohit Sharma's incredible gesture for Vaibhav Suryavanshi
Rajasthan Royals batting prodigy Vaibhav Suryavanshi failed to continue his brilliant form in the ongoing IPL 2025 as he was dismissed for a 2-ball duck against Mumbai Indians on Thursday.
However, MI superstar Rohit Sharma's brilliant gesture towards the teenager has gone viral over various social media platforms.
When players of both the teams were exchanging handshakes after the match, Rohit walked up to Vaibhav and shared a few words of encouragement with the youngster, who would understandably be feeling low about his performance in the match.
Several fans have hailed Rohit's sportsman spirit and incredible gesture towards Suryavanshi.
"He will learn. Encouraging words from Rohit Sharma there, as well," Ravi Shastri said on-air as the gesture from Rohit for the young star won several hearts.
Fans' Reactions
In response to Rohit's kind gestures towards Suryavanshi, many fans were effusive in their praise for the veteran cricketer.
"True leadership! Rohit Sharma setting an example with his support and encouragement," wrote a fan on X (earlier known as Twitter).
