Devajit Saika, the secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) criticised Congress leader Shama Mohamed over a post on X in which she targeted Rohit Sharma’s fitness amidst the ongoing ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The Congress spokesperson fat-shamed Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma after he was dismissed after 15 runs off 17 balls during the last group-stage match of the Champions Trophy between India and New Zealand. Notably, Rohit led India to a 44-run victory in the match to top the Group A points table in the tournament.
Mohamed also said thet Rohit Sharma needs to lose weight and that he is the most ‘unimpressive’ captain Team India has ever had.
“Rohit Sharma is fat for a sportsman! Need to lose weight! And of course the most unimpressive Captain India has ever had!,” she wrote in a post on X that has been deleted now.
Devajit Saikia condemned Shama Mohamed’s remarks on the T20 World Cup 2024-winning captain, calling them unfortunate, especially with India set to play the Champions Trophy semifinal against Australia on March 4 (Tuesday).
“It’s very unfortunate that this kind of remark for our captain (Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma) has come from a person who is on a responsible post, especially at a time when Team India is playing an ICC tournament and the team is all set to play the semi-final match,” Devajit Saikia, BCCI Secretary to ANI, on Congress leader Shama Mohamed’s comments on Team India captain Rohit Sharma.
