Fact check: Has Rohit Sharma gained weight? Truth about Indian skipper’s viral ‘big belly’ image

Rohit Sharma's picture with a big belly have been circulating on social media. Has Hitman really gained weight, or is there some conspiracy against the Indian skipper?

Star Indian skipper Rohit Sharma, who is often trolled for his bulky physique, is rightly subject to fat shaming. Once again, the ‘Hitman’ is in the news due to an image of him that is going viral on social media, where Sharma is seen with a fat belly. But the question is, has Rohit Sharma gained a lot of weight, or is it a morphed image?

Photoshopped image is circulating on X

The picture was taken from the T20 World Cup warm-up match against Bangladesh. As Rohit Sharma was captaining the Indian side and cameras showed Rohit setting the field for Arshdeep Singh. The picture depicted Rohit with a big, fat belly. Which clearly had been morphed by some user and then posted on social media.

Since Rohit Sharma has a bulky physique and, as mentioned, is often targeted by critics because of his appearance, and once again some users try to exaggerate things.

India got off to an impressive start

Rohit Sharma led India to a 60-run victory over Bangladesh in the T20 World Cup 2024 warm-up game. India posted 182 runs in their 20 overs, with southpaw Rishabh Pant impressively scoring 50 runs. Also, we witnessed Hardik Pandya’s redemption as he also made 46 runs in 23 balls. As for bowling, Arshdeep Singh performed well, taking two wickets in the powerplay to help India restrict Bangladesh to 122 for 9 in 20 overs.
