Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma pleasantly surprised everyone by showcasing his funnier side at the BCCI Awards in Hyderabad. The “Hitman” made fans laugh with his excellent mimicry skills, imitating different teammates, including Virat Kohli, and now his playful act has quickly become a viral sensation on social media.
During the recent BCCI awards function, Rohit not only imitated Kohli's aggressive celebration, but he also mimicked MS Dhoni's helicopter shot, Shubman Gill's bow-down celebration, and Jasprit Bumrah's unique bowling action.
Displaying his own cricket skills, Rohit flawlessly replicated his pull shot with the same elegance. The mimicry extended to imitating Suryakumar Yadav's famous Supla shot. Rohit also mimicked Sachin Tendulkar's iconic uppercut.
However, the highlight was Rohit’s funny imitation of Kohli's ultra-charged celebrations after a wicket. Kohli is known for his passionate and animated celebrations on the cricket field, and the Indian skipper tried to mimic Kohli with the same electric energy.
