[ VIDEO ] Rohit Sharma Forgets His Passport

The Indian cricket team wasted little time after returning from Sri Lanka, where they won the 8th Asia Cup. They left the island country hastily on Sunday night. What will be their next test? This week, India will host Australia for three One-Day Internationals (ODIs).

On that pivotal Sunday evening, key players including Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah, and skipper Rohit Sharma were on board the plane. On the other hand, destiny had a humorous surprise in store for Rohit Sharma. As the crew got ready to take off, the captain had a bizarre realisation: he’d forgotten his passport at the hotel.

Rohit Sharma felt extreme shame at the time. The world quickly saw Rohit’s dismay upon realising his passport was missing thanks to a viral video that captured the developing event. When his colleagues on the bus heard about Rohit’s plight, they couldn’t help but tease and encourage him in a lighthearted manner.

Due to a series of unfortunate occurrences, Rohit ended up being the last member of the squad to get on the bus. A kind member of staff rushed to his aid and provided him with the passport he had misplaced. The passport mishap was the last thing on anyone’s mind when the bus finally pulled away.

The Asia Cup 2023 final was played on September 17 at R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, and it was a remarkable exhibition of cricketing skill. With Rohit Sharma at the helm, Team India was strengthened by Mohammed Siraj’s brilliant performance. Siraj took six wickets for just 21 runs in seven overs, setting a new record that would define his career.

The Sri Lankan batting order was wiped out in the process, as they were only able to score 50 runs in 15.2 overs. India’s batters needed just 6.1 overs to score 51 runs after being assigned a target of 51. India bowled out the reigning champions for their lowest-ever Asia Cup total, making the match historic. Even more impressively, India won by the largest margin in terms of balls remaining (263 to be exact) in an ODI.
