Rohit Sharma, India’s ODI and Test captain, has found himself in the spotlight for an unusual reason. The seasoned batter, known for his incredible performances on the field, is now being accused of photoshopping his picture to appear leaner.
Despite being one of India’s top batters, Rohit has often faced criticism for his bulky physique. This time, trolls have taken their jabs a step further, accusing him of digitally altering his image to look slimmer.
Did Rohit Sharma Really Alter His Picture?
So, did Rohit Sharma actually tweak his image? After a careful comparison, it does seem like the World Cup-winning captain made some digital adjustments.
The original photo, uploaded by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) from a practice session ahead of the ODI series against Sri Lanka, shows Rohit in his usual form.
However, the same picture, when uploaded by Rohit on his social media accounts, appeared noticeably different. His right arm looked oddly curved, and his belly seemed significantly slimmer than in the BCCI’s original image. This sparked a wave of speculation and criticism from fans.
The Upcoming Series
Amid this controversy, it’s worth remembering that Rohit Sharma and the Indian team have an important task ahead. The first ODI of the three-match series against Sri Lanka is set to be played on August 2 (today) at R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. The following matches will take place on August 4 and 7 at the same venue.
For the unversed, Rohit and Virat Kohli will be playing their first match today after leading India to the T20 World Cup triumph in June.
While the photoshopping allegations might be making headlines, fans will be hoping that Rohit’s performance on the field will do the talking. As India gears up for the series, all eyes will be on Rohit to see if he can silence the critics with his bat.
