Rohit Sharma visits 6-year-old kid who was hit by his six at The Oval
Rohit Sharma had an incredible outing on Tuesday, July 12 in the first ODI between India and England at India skipper Rohit Sharma roared back to form with a brilliant half-century in the first One Day International against England at the Kennington Oval in London on Tuesday, July 12. However, one of his trademark pull shots struck a young fan in the stands, which halted the game for a while as she was attended by the physios of the England cricket team.
Rohit and Shikhar Dhawan stitched together an unbeaten 114-run stand to help India chase down 111 and win the match by 10 wickets. Rohit’s knock was laced with six fours and five sixes.
The girl in the stands failed to get out of the line of the ball and copped a blow. Former England batter Michael Atherton and former India head coach Ravi Shastri also talked about the matter.
“It seems someone in the crowd may have gotten hit by this six from Rohit Sharma. Fingers crossed nobody is hurt,” Atherton said.
“Yes, it looks that way. The way Rohit is looking towards that area, he might have got the message. It’s probably hit someone,” Shastri said.
Thus, Rohit’s adorable gesture for the Nagpur-born has certainly won hearts in the cricketing fraternity. At the post-match presentation, Hitman stated, “Looking at the overhead conditions and the pitch, the toss was a right call to make. We used the conditions upfront really well. We never worry about the conditions because we have got the guys who can just come out and use those conditions. There was some swing and seam upfront and we exploited them well. When you play in such conditions, you have to understand the assistance and have field placements accordingly. We knew our bowlers could swing the ball both ways and hence had that kind of field.”
