Rohit's heartwarming gesture and autographed note for Indore Traffic Cop goes viral

Listen to Story India captain Rohit Sharma left an indelible mark on the heart of a local traffic police officer, Ranjeet Singh, on his recent visit to Indore for the second T20I match against Afghanistan. Known for his moonwalking dance steps while managing traffic, Ranjeet had previously met Rohit and requested his autograph but was unable to receive it due to his duties.

This time around, Rohit not only remembered the encounter but also made a special effort to express his appreciation for Ranjeet. In a gesture that has since captured the hearts of many, the Indian captain penned down his autograph along with a heartfelt message, entrusting it with the team bus driver to ensure it reached Ranjeet.

The traffic cop took to Facebook to share his gratitude, praising Rohit Sharma's humility and stating that a player's greatness is not solely defined by their sportsmanship but also by their compassionate thinking. "When the Indian team came to Indore for the last time, I met India's captain Rohit Sharma ji.

I asked him about his autograph but I could not take him due to duty, but the captain remembered this. This time while going he gave his autograph and his love towards me in words and gave it to driver sir and told him to give this crazy man Ranjeet. Hearty thanks captain sir for your love.. A player does not become great only by sports, similar thinking makes him great," the Police officer wrote the entire episode in his post.

Rohit Sharma's thoughtful act has gone viral, showcasing the warmth and respect he holds for individuals from all walks of life, further solidifying his reputation as not just a remarkable athlete but also a person of great character. However, Rohit Sharma's return to the T20I format after the 2022 World Cup has not unfolded as expected on the field.

He faced setbacks with consecutive ducks in the initial two T20Is against Afghanistan. Nevertheless, there is still a potential milestone for Rohit as a captain, as securing another victory could elevate him to the position of the Indian captain with the highest number of T20I wins, surpassing MS Dhoni's record of 41..
