Hilarious name of RCB’s Romario Shepherd goes viral

A hilarious video has gone viral on social media platforms where a wrong name of the West Indies and the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) all-rounder, Romario Shepherd, has been spelled by an unknown. He called the veteran as Romario Saif Ali which created laughter among the audience.

Romario Shepherd is a vital member for the Caribbean side heading into the T20 World Cup 2026 in India and Sri Lanka, as he has bagged 75 wickets in 68 innings at an average of 28.53 and a strike rate of 17 with an economy rate of just over 10, thanks to the best bowling figures of 4/31 in an innings.

The right-handed batter has smashed 826 runs in 51 innings at an average of 26.64 and a strike rate of 144.40, thanks to the best score of 49 runs. He showed his power during the recent T20I clash against South Africa at SuperSport Park in Centurion, where he drilled a strong knock of 17 runs to cross the 200-run mark for the West Indies.
