0 3 minutes read

#Gen Z’s Superhero Captain : “Want Hitman #Rohit Sharma Back!” As soon as the BCCI announced Chief selector, Agit Agarkar’s decision to remove Rohit Sharma from captaincy and to side line Virat Kohli, Gen Z fans on social media responded with “unacceptable” “Respect the Icons. Protect the Legacy” slogans! #RohitSharma trending on Twitter and other social media platforms, demanding BCCI to revoke its captaincy decision.

#Rohit Sharma isn’t just a cricket player — he’s an emotion. For Gen Z fans who grew up watching his effortless pulls, jaw-dropping double centuries, and calm leadership, Rohit isn’t merely “Hitman”; he’s a symbol of consistency, class, and quiet fire.

-By Dr. Namrata Mishra Tiwari, Editor India Input.

Fans are trolling BCCI for what they call an unfair move—removing Rohit Sharma from captaincy. Supporters argue his leadership brought stability, success, and trust within the team. Social media is flooded with outrage, memes, and demands, as Gen Z especially voices strong support for their “Hitman” to stay skipper.

#Rohit Sharma’s journey from a promising youngster to one of India’s most successful captains has been nothing short of cinematic. Every time he steps onto the field, there’s a unique energy — the kind that makes even the most casual viewer stop scrolling and watch. Every time he lifts his bat, India lifts its spirits too.

Statistically, Rohit’s record speaks for itself. Four double centuries in ODIs, hundreds in all formats, and a trophy cabinet that keeps growing — he’s turned moments into milestones. As captain, his leadership has been strategic and empathetic.

Under Rohit Sharma, India’s white-ball dominance grew stronger, and the Men in Blue rediscovered their swagger across formats. He backs his players, reads the game brilliantly, and commands respect through balance — aggression in tactics, serenity in demeanor.

But beyond the numbers lies the emotion. For fans, especially Gen Z, Rohit is a mood — unbothered, confident, and quietly lethal. They connect with his resilience: the way he’s silenced critics, handled pressure, and delivered when it mattered.

Every time talks arise about his replacement, social media erupts with love and loyalty. Memes turn into movements; tweets become tributes. They don’t just want Rohit the batsman — they want Rohit the captain, the leader who unifies generations with his presence.

As India looks ahead, one truth remains — Rohit Sharma has earned his place in both the record books and the hearts of millions.
