Congress spokesperson Shama Mohamed’s harsh criticism and fat-shaming of Team India captain Rohit Sharma has drawn a backlash on social media. In the comments section of her post on X, people have pointed to stats of India’s performance under the leadership of Mr Sharma, often called Hitman for his batting prowess, to counter Ms Mohamed’s remarks.<\/p>\n
In a post on X during India vs New Zealand Champions Trophy clash yesterday, Ms Mohamed said Rohit Sharma “is fat for a sportsman”. “Need to lose weight! And ofcourse the most unimpressive Captain India has ever had,” she added.<\/p>\n
When Pakistan-based sports journalist countered the Congress leader’s remarks and said Mr Sharma is a “mighty effective and world class performer”, she replied, “What is so world class about him when compared to his predecessors like Ganguly, Tendulkar, Dravid, Dhoni, Kohli, Kapil dev, Shastri & the rest! He is a mediocre captain as well as a mediocre player who got lucky to be the Captain of India.”<\/p>\n
The remark has also drawn a sharp retort from the ruling BJP, which asked if the Congress now expects Rahul Gandhi to play cricket. “Shame on Congress! Now they are going after the Indian Cricket Captain! Do they expect Rahul Gandhi to now play cricket after failing in Indian politics,” he said.<\/p>\n
