Rohit Sharma Is Getting Trolled For A Big Mistake

Rohit Sharma Is Getting Trolled For A Big Mistake: Ahead of the 75th anniversary of India’s independence, Prime Minister Modi had asked his fellow nationals to change their profile pictures on social media accounts to tricolor, while launching the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign.

From Bollywood celebrities and prominent personalities to cricketers, everyone took part in the initiative and changed their profile pictures to ‘Tiranga’ to mark the 75th anniversary of our country’s independence.

Indian captain Rohit Sharma also joined the bandwagon and changed his Twitter profile picture to India’s Tiranga. Not just that, he also shared the Independence Day greetings with his millions of followers via a couple of posts. “75 years of independence. स्वतंत्रता दिवस की हार्दिक शुभकामनाएं (Wish you all a Happy Independence Day),” Rohit tweeted.

“Representing the country has been the ultimate honour. I’m grateful & lucky with no repentance,” read his second tweet.

While it was a wonderful gesture from the Indian captain however some trolls took offense and started trolling the 35-year-old for using photoshopped images instead of a real flag in his posts. While, he was seen holding a photoshopped flag in the first Tweet, and the second image had its background. Fans are trolling Rohit Sharma left, right, and center for the same.

Check out the reactions of Twitterati:

First tell him to show his patriotism by buying a real flag
