India’s T20 World Cup-winning captain Rohit Sharma has found an admirer in Bollywood actress Vidya Balan as he struggles through a lean phase. Sharma’s captaincy during the ongoing Border–Gavaskar Trophy has been heavily criticized, more so for his lack of support to the team through the bat. That being said, Vidya was trolled for her post in Rohit’s support. 

Why Vidya Balan was trolled for her post on Rohit Sharma

Vidya Balan took to X, formerly Twitter, and wrote, “Rohit Sharma, what a SUPERSTAR ?!! To take a pause & catch your breath requires courage … More power to you … Respect ? !! @ImRo45.” However, she accidentally posted a screenshot of a WhatsApp text that contained the message on Instagram, leading everyone to think it was PR-driven and led to incessant trolling.
