An amusing anecdote regarding Rohit Sharma’s tendency to forget things gone viral.
Even though Rohit Sharma is one of India’s best ODI hitters, he appears to have a peculiar weakness: amnesia. In a funny podcast, Pakistani batsman Imam-ul-Haq described how the India Test and ODI skipper frequently forgets important things and then curses himself immediately after. During a captains’ meeting at the 2023 World Cup, Imam shared a tale about how Rohit misplaced his brand-new iPhone and AirPods, revealing that Rohit is especially careless about keeping his phone under observation.”Rohit Sharma has a really unique personality. He loses any sense of where his belongings are. According to Imam on the Ultra Edge podcast, “I don’t know where his gloves or bat are.”
Imam continued by recounting an incident that he claims was related to him by Babar Azam, the former captain of Pakistan.
“At the 2023 World Cup, Babar once related to me an occurrence in which the captains met and boarded an aircraft. Imam relates, “Babar claimed that Rohit was so forgetful that he kept cursing himself every two minutes for forgetting his iPhone and then his airpods on the plane.”
“He needed two reminders from Babar to get his phone. His manager then called to inform him that he had forgotten his airpods. He frequently forgets things,” Imam continued.
