The Indian skipper, Rohit Sharma has always been perfect gentleman and played the game by its spirits. The swashbuckling opener gave another instance of how he conducts himself on the field in the ongoing clash between India and Bangladesh in the Champions Trophy 2025.
Notably, Bangladesh won the toss for the game and batted first. India made a brilliant start to the game as they picked up some early wickets. The Indian bowlers had the Bangla Tigers reeling at 35/5 within the ninth over of the innings.
Rohit Sharma Upholds The Spirit Of The Game
From this stage, India would have expected to bundle out the opposition for a paltry total. However, some missed chances and steady batting from Jaker Ali and Towhid Hridoy kept India from running away with the match.
It is normal for the captain of the fielding team to lose his calm in such a situation. However, it was a seen that Rohit Sharma was helping Jaker Ali tie his shoe lace during the game. This heart-winning gesture by the skipper soon caught the eyes of the fans.
It was an example of the spirit with which the Indian great plays the game and how much respect he has for the game.
