Rohit Sharma shares strong message for Mumbai citizens in heavy rain

The heavy rainfall has caused issues for the citizens in Mumbai as the squad selection of the Indian side at the headquarters of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has been delayed. Only the T20I captain, Suryakumar Yadav, has reached the place before the two veteran players of the women’s side, Smriti Mandhana and Harmanpreet Kaur, made their way.

However, the former T20 World Cup-winning captain of the national side, Rohit Sharma, has shared a strong message for the citizens of Mumbai regarding the heavy rainfall. The rain has been persistent, as the roads have been waterlogged, which has delayed various flights and caused traffic jams, making it incredibly hard to ensure a smooth process.

“Stay safe, everyone, and take care.”- The Nagpur-born expressed during a recent post on Instagram. He is recently in the news for the reports of potentially taking his retirement from the ODIs if he doesn’t perform well with the bat during the upcoming three-match ODI series against Australia down under in November.

Despite the relentless monsoon, which has kept many indoors, the Champions Trophy 2025 winning captain was in no mood to stay inside. He was spotted taking his Range Rover out for a spin through the rainy streets, as the videos went viral on social media. A few days ago, he also bought a fiery red Lamborghini Urus in his luxury car collection.

The 38-year-old has overall scored 11168 runs in 265 ODI innings at an average of 48.76 and a strike rate of nearly 93, with the help of 58 half-centuries and 32 centuries at the best score of 264 against Sri Lanka at Eden Gardens in Kolkata. His last ODI fixture was against New Zealand during the final of the Champions Trophy 2025 in Dubai.

During the 2025 season of the IPL, Rohit drilled 418 runs in 15 innings at an average of just under 30 and a strike rate of around 150 with the help of four fifties at the best score of 81 runs. It will be interesting to see if he turns up in the Vijay Hazare Trophy for Mumbai in the 2025/26 season, as a few reports have claimed.
