Video: Rohit Sharma Hilariously Imitates Sanju Samson's Walking Style During CEAT Awards In Mumbai, Leaves Shreyas Iyer In Splits

Team India batting star Rohit Sharma was seen imitating Sanju Samson's walking style during the CEAT Cricket Awards in Mumbai held on October 7, Tuesday. With Rohit sitting behind Shreyas Iyer and some distance separating him and Samson, the former Indian skipper imitated the keeper-batter's walking style. A video of the same surfaced on social media.

A host of Indian other countries' cricketers were present in Mumbai for the CEAT Cricket awards on what was a magical night. It was also Rohit's first public appearance since being replaced as ODI captain by Shubman Gill ahead of the three-game series against Australia.

Fans were also stunned by the 38-year-old's lean and sharp look as he prepares for international return for the first time since March 2025. He also hasn't featured in a competitive game since the Qualifier 2 of IPL 2025.
