Congress Leader Fat-Shames Rohit Sharma, BJP Replies With Rahul Gandhi Jab

Word Count: 424 | Estimated Reading Time: 3 minutes




New Delhi:

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.

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.

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.”

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,” BJP spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari said in reply to the Congress leader’s post. Speaking to NDTV, Mr Bhandari said the Congress spokesperson’s remark reflects the party’s Emergency mindset. “It’s an insult to every patriot who supports the Indian cricket team through thick and thin. I question the Congress’s criticism,” he said.
  

In a clarification later, Ms Mohamed compared Rohit Sharma and former captain Virat Kohli and said the latter always compliments other cricketers. “I just spoke in a generic manner. I fail to understand how in a democracy, we don’t have the right to speak,” she said. 

Thirty-seven-year-old Rohit Sharma took over as Team India captain in 2023. Under his leadership, India won the T20 World Cup last year and two Asia Cup trophies earlier. He has a stellar record in IPL too. As Mumbai Indians captain, he has led the team to five IPL titles.
