Rohit Sharma is currently leading India in the ongoing Champions Trophy. Under his leadership, India have won all three matches of the group stage and topped their group. They will now face Australia in the semi-finals.
Congress spokesperson Dr. Shama Mohamed took to social media to call Rohit Sharma "fat for a sportsman". She even termed Rohit as the "most unimpressive captain" in India's history.
Although she deleted her post after severe backlash, it had received plenty of attention on social media. Indian cricket fans were quick to react and defended their captain. The users also advised Shama to stay away from cricket and just concentrate on politics.
BJP gives a strong reply
"Those who have lost 90 elections under the captaincy of Rahul Gandhi are calling the captaincy of Rohit Sharma unimpressive! I guess 6 ducks in Delhi and 90 election losses is impressive but winning the T20 World Cup isn’t! Rohit has a brilliant track record as captain by the way!" Poonawalla replied to Congress.

Poonawalla further called out Congress for body-shaming remarks on Rohit and recalled his achievements as a cricketer and a captain. He lashed out at Congress for opposing the country, its institutions, and now the cricket captain as well.
"This reflects Congress’s core mindset. They oppose India, its institutions, and any success or achievement of the country. That’s why, when India defeated Pakistan and New Zealand, the Congress party was furious and started spewing venom against the nation," he added.
“Didn’t he move KL Rahul to bat at number 3 at the MCG Test & put himself at number 1 which backfired totally! Wasn’t that a selfish move? Because of that, Shubman Gill was out of the XI," she argued.
Rohit Sharma's incredible captaincy records
Rohit Sharma has scored 76 runs in 3 matches at an average of 25.33 and a strike rate of 111.76. He has looked to score runs quickly in the powerplay which has been his template over the last few years in ODIs.
He also has an impeccable record as a captain of India. Rohit has led India in 140 international games so far across all the formats. The Men in Blue won 101 matches at an impressive win percentage of 72.14.
Apart from international cricket, he is also the joint-most successful captain in the history of the IPL with five titles to his name while leading Mumbai Indians.
