In preparation for the series, Rohit shared pictures of his intense training sessions, aiming to demonstrate his commitment and readiness. However, sharp-eyed fans quickly speculated that the images were photoshopped. The situation escalated when the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) posted the same training pictures, revealing discrepancies between the two sets of images.
The most glaring issue pointed out by fans was Rohit’s right arm, which appeared oddly curved in his personal photos, suggesting digital alteration. Additionally, his belly seemed notably slimmer in his images compared to those released by the BCCI.
The internet went wild with these observations.
The comments were both humorous and critical.
One user remarked, “If there are such insecurities, work on your body Brother.”
Another quipped, “Why go to gym when you can do photoshop”
The playful banter continued with “Same same but different” “Ek zoom in vala hai ek zoom out vala hai,” highlighting the differences between the photos
The controversy gained traction, leading Rohit to delete the post from his official Instagram handle.
Rohit Sharma, along with former India skipper Virat Kohli, has begun preparations for the ODI series against Sri Lanka. The series is scheduled to start on August 2 in Colombo. This marks Rohit’s return to the Indian side after leading Team India to the ICC T20 World Cup victory in the Caribbean. Following India’s triumph over South Africa in the ICC event’s final, both Rohit and Kohli announced their retirement from T20 international cricket, focusing on the longer formats of the game.
