With over 6,57,00 views, the video prompted reactions from cricket enthusiasts and Sharma’s fans. “Be it Dubai or London, this is the madness of Rohit Sharma,” a fan wrote. “This is security breach,” an X user said.

“He will never dare to walk alone on a street in Dubai again,” a third user wrote.

During the India versus Pakistan match on Sunday, early in Pakistan’s innings, Rohit was seen limping due to a hamstring issue after a lengthy chase to the boundary. He later walked off the field for a brief period, with Shubman Gill stepping in to take over.

Meanwhile, on Wednesday, Afghanistan knocked England out of the semi-final race at the Champions Trophy with an eight-run victory.
