Rohit Sharma’s illustrious career may be inching towards its twilight, but his bond with fans remains as strong as ever. The Indian cricket legend and Mumbai Indians’ stalwart continues to command unconditional love and admiration, even as speculations grow about his international future. For millions, Rohit is more than just a cricketer — he’s an emotion, and that was beautifully reflected in a recent fan moment.

A die-hard Rohit Sharma supporter showcased her devotion by painting a breathtaking portrait of the Hitman. To her surprise and delight, Rohit met her in person, accepted the painting with a smile, and even signed it, sending her “love and best wishes.”

A video shared by a fan account on X captured the heartfelt exchange, where Rohit Sharma’s warm gesture once again highlighted his humility and genuine affection for his supporters. Despite being a fierce competitor on the field, the 38-year-old’s softer side emerges when it comes to his loyal fans, who have stood by him throughout his remarkable journey.

However, with age and workload catching up, his place in India’s ODI setup — both as an opener and a leader — could soon come under review. According to a RevSportz report, Rohit Sharma may be preparing for an international exit as early as October 2025, right after India’s ODI series against Australia.

Before that marquee assignment, he is likely to feature in a few India A matches against the touring Aussies to regain match sharpness. The veteran hasn’t played competitive cricket since Mumbai Indians’ IPL 2025 campaign ended in May, where he scored 418 runs in 15 innings at a brisk strike rate of 149.28.
