"Love Your...": Rohit Sharma's Message For Traffic Police Officer Goes Viral
India captain Rohit Sharma registered ducks in the first two T20Is against Afghanistan
India captain Rohit Sharma registered ducks in the first two T20Is against Afghanistan. With both the teams set to square off in the third and final T20I on Wednesday, Rohit will look to end the series on a high, despite growing concerns regarding his T20I future. Rohit hadn't played a T20I in over 14 months before this series. He got run out in the first game following a mix-up with Shubman Gill, while Fazalhaq Farooqi cleaned him up in the last game as India clinched the series.
Despite not having the best time with the bat, Rohit continues to remain humble on and off the field. Having said that, a traffic police officer, Ranjeet Singh, has revealed the Indian cricketer's special message for him.
Ranjeet, who works as a traffic police office in Indore, revealed that he had requested Rohit for an autograph, and how he initially didn't get the chance to get it from the Indian skipper.
Taking to facebook, Ranjeet revealed how Rohit took help from Team India's bus driver to fulfil his wish.
"Love your energy. Wish you lot of success," Ranjeet shared a picture of Rohit's note for him.

Despite his poor form, Rohit feels that team has "ticked all boxes" in the first two games, praising the likes of Shivam Dube and Yashasvi Jaiswal.
"The last two games, we've ticked a lot of boxes. They've had a great couple of years. Jaiswal has played Test cricket now and even T20. He has shown what he is capable of. He has the talent and has a great range of shots. Dube is a big guy, very powerful and can take on the spinners. That is his role and he has come out and played two crucial innings for us," he told after the second T20I.
With the competition for the T20 World Cup 2024 heating up, Rohit is up against a number of youngsters like Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ruturaj Gaikwad, etc. for the opening spot in the team.
Virat Kohli, who made his T20I comeback after a gap of 14 months, also looked to have opted for an aggressive approach in the match. He scored 16-ball 29 before getting perished at the hands of Naveen-ul-Haq.
