New Delhi. Under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma in the Champions Trophy, the Indian team performed brilliantly and won the semi -finals by winning the back to back 3 matches. Meanwhile, Congress national spokesperson Shama Mohammad released a post on social media and questioned Rohit Sharma’s fitness and captaincy, after which cricket fans started criticizing him on social media. Seeing the matter caught up, the party explained him, after which he removed his post.
Let me tell you that Shama wrote on the social media platform X amid the match against New Zealand that- Rohit Sharma is obese as a player, he should lose weight. Apart from this, he described Rohit as India’s most disappointing captain in another post.
Shama Mohammad compared Rohit Sharma to former India -legendary cricketers and wrote, ‘When Sourav Ganguly, Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Virat Kohli, Kapil Dev and Ravi Shastri compare with veterans like Virat Kohli, Kapil Dev and Ravi Shastri, what is the world class in Rohit Sharma? He is an average player and captain who got the captaincy of the Indian team with just luck.
The statement of the Congress spokesperson was described by the BJP as an insult and body shaming of a self-Mad champion (Rohit). However, the Congress later said that our party respects sports celebrities. The party asked Shama to delete social media posts. After this Shama removed the post.

I have the right to speak in democracy – Shama
Shama Mohammad, while clarifying on this whole matter, said that he was a generic tweet about the player’s fitness. She was not body shaming. I believe that the player should be fit. I felt that he weighs a little more, so I tweeted about him. But it was burnt without any reason. When I compare Rohit Sharma to other captains, I will say so. I have the right to say. This is democracy.
