The post, however, triggered a wave of sarcasm and ridicule, with users calling out the apparent U-turn in her stance. Critics highlighted her past statements, where she had questioned Rohit Sharma’s fitness and leadership abilities.
The Controversy Over Rohit's Fitness
During the Champions Trophy, Shama had made controversial comments about Rohit's physique, suggesting that he was overweight and not fit to lead the team. Following India’s final group-stage match against New Zealand, where Rohit was dismissed for 15 runs off 17 balls, she had also criticized his captaincy.
Her remarks sparked outrage, drawing reactions from both political and sports personalities. However, Rohit silenced critics with his stellar performance in the final, playing a match-winning innings and steering India to victory.
Social Media Reacts
Following India’s title win, social media users were quick to mock Shama’s congratulatory post, calling it hypocritical. Many pointed out that the Champions Trophy triumph itself served as the biggest rebuttal to her earlier statements. Must have been the most difficult tweet of your life😂😂
What did you have for dinner?
