India’s Test and ODI captain Rohit Sharma, known for his exceptional cricketing skills, recently amused fans with a viral video showcasing his forgetful side. In the footage, Rohit was initially heard stating, “There should be 7 bags.” However, moments later, he corrected himself, asserting, “No, there should be 8 bags.” This incident highlights that despite his superstar status, Rohit Sharma remains refreshingly down-to-earth.
The video captured Rohit Sharma accompanied by his wife and daughter in their car, while their luggage was being transported separately in another vehicle.
Virat Kohli reveals Rohit Sharma’s forgetfulness habit.
In previous interviews, cricketers such as Virat Kohli, who has been Rohit Sharma’s teammate throughout his career, have shared anecdotes about Rohit’s occasional forgetfulness. During a chat with host Gaurav Kapur on the YouTube show ‘Breakfast with Champions’ a few years ago, Kohli humorously recounted instances where Rohit would often misplace or forget things.
“The number of things Rohit Sharma forgets, I have never seen anyone else being this forgetful. iPad, wallet, phone, not the small things, but things for daily use. He (Rohit Sharma) has forgotten his passport two or three times. It was very hard to retrieve it,” Kohli had said on the show.
During last year’s Asia Cup, a widely circulated video on social media captured the moment Rohit Sharma anxiously waited for his passport, which he had inadvertently left in his Colombo hotel room. While the rest of the Indian team had already boarded the bus, Rohit stood at the entrance, cheered on by fans outside.

During the recent T20 World Cup 2024 match between India and Pakistan, Rohit Sharma, alongside Pakistan’s captain Babar Azam and match officials, had a humorous moment during the coin toss. As the pivotal moment arrived, Rohit momentarily forgot where he had placed the coin, prompting a light-hearted search through his trouser pockets. Eventually locating it, Rohit and Babar shared a laugh, easing tensions in what was a high-stakes encounter.
Looking ahead, Rohit Sharma is gearing up for the upcoming ODI series against Sri Lanka, scheduled to commence right after the T20I series. The ODI matches are set for July 2, 4, and 7 in Colombo, where Rohit will continue to lead India in this format.
