In a recent controversy, the Captain of the Indian Cricket Team Rohit Sharma was subjected to the shame of the body by Congress spokesman Shama Mohamed. The comments, published on the X Social Networks Platform (former Twitter), resulted in widespread outrage and obtained a strong response from the Cricket Control Council in India (BCCI).
Background of the incident
Mohamed’s Ara-Lamented Post described Rohit as “FAT for a athlete” and he tagged the “India’s most impressive captain has ever had.” The comments were made during the ICC Champions Trophy 2025Where India competes and qualified for the semifinals. Rohit, known for his exceptional skills and leadership of Cricket, has been instrumental in the success of India in the tournament.
BCCI response
Secretary of BCCI Devajit saikia condemned Mohamed’s observations, shouting -the “Very unfortunate.” Saikia emphasized that these comments are not only derogatory, but they can also have a demoralizing effect on players, especially during crucial tournaments such as the Champions Trophy. He expressed his concern that these statements could affect the team’s morality and performance.
“It is very unfortunate that a responsible person has such a trivial comment when the team is in the middle of such a crucial ICC Tournament. It can have a demoralizing effect on an individual or the team. All players have their maximum potential and the results are visible. I hope that individuals give up making these derogatory statements for personal advertising,” Saikia was quoted on NDTV.

Reaction of political circles
The Bharatiya Janata (BJP) party criticized the Congress party on Mohamed’s comments, removing parallels with its electoral performance under the direction of Rahul Gandhi. The BJP said that while Rohit has led India to important victories, Congress has faced election setbacks.
“The spokesman for the Congress damaged the body @imro45: pure boldness! This is the same congress that humiliated athletes for decades, denied them recognition and now dare to make fun of a Cricket legend? The party that prosper in nepotism is to give lectures at a champion made? Leader, @rahulgandhi, can not even capture his own party without having crashed on the ground. “ wrote BJP Politice Radhika Khera In X.

Is this the same congress that humiliated athletes for decades, denied them recognition and now dares to make fun of a Cricket legend? Is the party that thrives in nepotism is to make conferences at a champion held?
