MCG Witness A Crazy Fan Moment

It is every fan's dream to have an autograph or share a fan moment with their favorite player. Days before the Melbourne Test, the iconic venue witnessed a wild fan encounter. While Rohit Sharma was signing autographs after the practice session, a female fan pulled off a creative stunt and that left everyone stunned.

A fan named Jaspreet came to the stadium to witness Team India’s practice with the hope of getting an autograph. But she took things to a whole new level when she dangled a bat with a rope to catch the player’s attention. Initially aiming for Kohli’s autograph, she ended up having Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja’s autographs.

Rohit Sharma was taken aback by the creative move, and couldn’t help by fulfilling her wish. She was on cloud nine as her hours long wait paid off. Famous journalist Vimal Kumar shared the heartfelt moment, leaving the fans cheering.

The Fan Shares The Back Story Of This Creative Idea

The Indian captain was blown over the creative idea. After the entire incident took place, the fan was asked about the whole idea and she shared a hilarious back story. She said, “Before coming here last night, I thought about what could be the idea. How can we get an autograph? Because I have never come this side of the stadium. So when I saw your video, I thought this could be the idea. Why not tie the bat first with this rope? I found it first. Rohit Sharma did it on a T-shirt.”

"Yes, I tied this rope from the side and hung it all the way down. I was shouting because Sir had told me to let him play first and then you will get the autograph you want. But we wanted Kohli's, but we couldn’t get him. He left too. Then Bumrah left too. But luckily, we got Jadeja's. Then we only had Rohit. So we wanted to get his autograph somehow.” she added.

“We were shouting to him to please give us an autograph. So when he was about to reach here, I quickly tied the T-shirt with a rope and hung it all the way down and asked him to sign it. He was saying, 'What kind of system is this?' I said I didn’t have any other idea. So he quickly gave us the autograph.” she ended.

The upcoming Test match is going to be a do-or-die one for Rohit Sharma and Co. After consecutive setbacks, their batting woes become a huge concern. Rohit’s experiment to bat at the number 6 position didn’t go as per the plan. Meanwhile, Virat Kohli is also running from some rough patches. With the Boxing Day Test on the horizon, its make-or-break time for Team India to keep their WTC final hope alive.
