'Got Plenty Of Runs With That Body Weight': Ex-cricketer Surinder Khanna On Rohit Sharma Fat-shaming Controversy
ODI World Cup: Former cricketer Surinder Khanna backed India captain Rohit Sharma and said the opening batter has scored plenty of runs with that body weight after a Congress leader called him "fat" on social media. Congress spokesperson Shama Mohamed made the controversial remark during India's Champions Trophy 2025 final Group A match against New Zealand in Dubai on Sunday. Taking to X, she openly referred to the Indian skipper as "fat."
“Rohit Sharma is fat for a sportsman! Need to lose weight! And of course, the most unimpressive Captain India has ever had,” Shama wrote in a post on X, which she later deleted following a backlash.
Reacting to that, Khanna called such comments "stupid" and said Rohit has a different body type, which has not changed much throughout his career. The veteran also added that one should refrain from such comments and should respect the Indian team skipper.
