Rohit Sharma gave a blockbuster performance throughout the series and scored a total of 529 runs in 4 innings. And much deservingly he was awarded as the man of the match and man of the series.
The fans just can’t stop praising Rohit Sharma for his incredible performances but on Sunday, on the occasion of Diwali, Rohit Sharma faced the wrath of the Indian fans because of his message on Diwali.
To wish everyone on the festival of lights, just like every other cricketer, Rohit Sharma also took to his social media to wish everyone. But along with the ‘Happy Diwali’ message, Rohit Sharma advised his fans to not burn crackers. He posted a video of dogs being scared due to firecrackers and wrote:
“Happy Diwali to all my fellow Indians. Let’s hope this Diwali brings more light and shine to us. Let’s light up Diwali with diyas and keep these furry ones in mind before bursting any crackers. It was horrible to see them this scared.”

While the tweet made absolute sense and was apt, it didn’t go down well with the Indian fans who were furious with Rohit Sharma’s tweet. While some slammed him for his hypocrisy, the others dug out his old tweets where he mentioned enjoying Diwali by burning crackers, on the other hand, there were some who trolled him for enjoying IPL where they burst crackers every now and then.
