Since the rumours of the rift between him and Virat Kohli broke out, Rohit Sharma has been a hot topic of discussion on social media. There is a group of people who back him and want him to replace Virat as the Indian captain. On the other hand, there have also been several discussions and debates over his exclusion from the Test team despite him being in terrific form.

While Virat Kohli claims that everything is fine between the two, Rohit Sharma’s actions suggest otherwise. In the last few months, he has created several major controversies on social media through his actions. These moves clearly indicate that he is not on the same page as the skipper and the management.

Here are five instances when Rohit Sharma created controversy:

1. Rohit Sharma&#8217;s potential bio-bubble breach

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-476208" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Prithvi-Shaw-Rohit-Sharma-Rishabh-Pant-Shubman-Gill-and-Navdeep-Saini.jpg" alt="Prithvi Shaw, Rohit Sharma, Rishabh Pant, Shubman Gill and Navdeep Saini" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-476208" class="wp-caption-text">Prithvi Shaw, Rohit Sharma, Rishabh Pant, Shubman Gill, and Navdeep Saini.

Team India travelled to Australia for the limited-overs series and Border-Gavaskar Trophy in the 2020-21 season. Right when the four-match Test series was leveled at 1-1 in the first two Tests, Indian cricketers were found to be in off-field trouble.

Rohit Sharma, who was injured till that point in time, joined the team for the final two Tests and was appointed as vice-captain of the Test team for the final two Tests. That was the time when the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/bcci-investigating-a-potential-bio-bubble-breach-after-rohit-sharma-and-4-other-indian-players-meet-an-indian-fan-in-melbourne/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Hitman visited a restaurant</strong></a> with Gill, Shaw, Pant, and Saini in Melbourne on New Year’s Day.

A fan named Navaldeep Singh spotted the cricketers in the restaurant and paid their bill as well. He posted a video of players enjoying the meal and also tweeted the whole incident, which was quick to trend on social media. It was tweeted that Rishabh Pant hugged the fan.

If it turns out to be true, the players have ended up breaking the protocol laid by Cricket Australia keeping COVID-19 in mind. The players are only allowed to eat outside any restaurant and are not allowed to sit indoors due to the ongoing COVID-19 regulations. It was reported that the Indian players were sitting indoors, which was a clear protocol breach.

The Indian cricket board was quick to review the whole incident alongside CA.

2. Liking a post which termed KL Rahul overrated

In World Cup 2019, Rohit Sharma was in red-hot form. He was the leading run-scorer for India in the tournament and scored five centuries as well. Moreover, he levelled the record of Sachin Tendulkar’s six World Cup centuries and was expected to play a big role in the West Indies.

He started well in the T20I series and also hit 67 in one of the first two games. However, Kohli decided to rest him for the last game and replace him with KL Rahul. Later, Rohit also impressed in the warm-up game that was played before the Tests began. While KL Rahul scored 36 in that match, Sharma mustered 68 runs and looked in great touch.

Yet, Virat Kohli opted for KL Rahul in the line-up for both the Tests. The opener failed in both the games and sitting out probably didn’t excite Rohit Sharma. Thus, he liked an Instagram post that wrote that KL Rahul was overrated sparking yet another major controversy.

3. When Rohit Sharma liked a tweet against Anushka Sharma

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-302606" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Anushka-Sharma-2.jpg" alt="Anushka Sharma" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-302606" class="wp-caption-text">Anushka Sharma. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

During India’s tour of England in 2018, Anushka Sharma was involved in a huge controversy. The Indian team, along with the support staff, visited the High Commissioner of India in London. However, Virat Kohli’s wife Anushka also tagged along and was seen with the team.

Moreover, Anushka posing in the first row along with her husband and Test vice-captain <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/the-biggest-reward-for-us-has-been-the-ability-to-bring-a-smile-on-the-faces-of-indian-fans-ajinkya-rahane/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Ajinkya Rahane</strong></a> standing somewhere behind wasn’t liked by many. They lashed out at the power couple for doing this and some also claimed that this was a ‘team visit’ and not a ‘family visit’. Rohit Sharma, who wasn’t a part of the squad for that tour, puzzled one and all by liking a mystic tweet.

“@ImRo45 void is filled up by @AnushkaSharma ???? I believe WAG’s are not allowed till 3rd test. Different rules for different players!” wrote one of the fans in reply to the picture that was posted. Rohit liked this post creating another major controversy. Following it up, he liked another tweet which read: “Rohit Sharma averages 58.19, batting at no 6 in tests. That is more than any batsman playing currently in the world”.

4. ‘I don’t just walk out for my team. I walk out for my country’

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-308496" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Rohit-Sharma-1.jpg" alt="Rohit Sharma" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-308496" class="wp-caption-text">Rohit Sharma.

Just before the team left to the West Indies for a full-fledged tour, Virat Kohli addressed a press conference. Post the World Cup 2019 exit, the rumours of the rift between him and Rohit Sharma intensified. However, the Indian captain rubbished all these speculations.

He even said that these were ‘baffling’ and ‘ridiculous’. While this seemed to have put a full stop on all the news that was circling in social media, Rohit Sharma decided to add fire to the pyre with a cryptic tweet. Just hours after the team left for the Caribbean, he came up with a controversial tweet.

“I don’t just walk out for my Team. I walk out for my country,” he wrote which again added life to this controversy. “We are feeding off lies, we are overlooking facts. We are turning a blind eye to all the good things that has happened and we are creating fantasies and scenarios in our head and want to accept that this is the truth,” stated Virat Kohli earlier.

5. Unfollowing Anushka Sharma on Instagram

Rohit Sharma unfollowed <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/virat-kohli-and-steve-smith-are-the-best-batsmen-for-me-says-kane-williamson/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Virat Kohli</strong></a> on Instagram a long while ago. The most recent development is that he even unfollowed his wife Anushka Sharma on the platform. This was another social media activity from Rohit Sharma that has raised a lot of speculations.

This is not the first time Rohit did something of this sort against the actress as mentioned in one of the points earlier. With this action of his, the Indian opener added fire to the fuel and intensified the discussions about a possible rift. With the way things have unfolded, this rift appears to be more than just being a rumour.

Furthermore, Anushka Sharma possibly tried to take a jibe at Rohit with a cryptic Instagram story. “A wise man once said nothing. Only truth can shake hands with silence in a mess of false appearances…” she wrote soon after Sharma unfollowed her. This has resulted in further debate.

5 Times when Rohit Sharma created controversy

Since the rumours of the rift between him and Virat Kohli broke out, Rohit Sharma has been a hot topic of discussion on social media.
