Mumbai Indians (MI) veteran Rohit Sharma has once again won over social media with a heartwarming interaction involving a fan during the ongoing IPL 2026 season. The five-time champions have shared a light moment that quickly became one of the internet’s favourite cricket clips of the week.

The incident took place while Rohit was making his way towards the Mumbai Indians team bus after a team engagement. A young fan approached the star batter for a selfie, but moments before clicking the picture, her phone suddenly switched off.

Clearly embarrassed, the fan told Rohit, “Mera phone off hogaya,” leaving those nearby amused by the awkward situation.
