A video that has gone viral on social media shows a moment when fans Hardik Pandya It allegedly baffled the Indian cricket captain Rohit Sharma with chants of “Hardik … hardik” and referred to him as “Vadapao” During a Ranji Trophy match between Mumbai and Jammu & Kashmir.
The incident, captured on video, shows Rohit walking down a corridor, a place fans are not normally allowed to access during match times, suggesting the audio may have been edited or added later. The chants and remarks heard in the video are particularly notable as they come at a time when Rohit is trying to regain form in the domestic cricket scene ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
In the footage, Rohit appears to be focused and unperturbed by the off-field noise, but the nature of the chants, especially “Vadapao” – A popular Mumbai street food, apparently used here in a derogatory context – have sparked debates on social media platforms about fan behavior and sportsmanship.
As of now, there is no confirmation if this audio was indeed from the match or if it was manipulated to create a narrative. The authenticity of the video remains under scrutiny.

Above all, Rohit’s much-awaited return to the Ranji Trophy after almost a decade has been disappointing on the field. The right-handed batsman, looking to rediscover his form ahead of the Champions Trophy, opened Mumbai’s battle against Jammu and Kashmir. However, his performance was disconcerting; In the first innings, Rohit managed just 3 balls, showing a struggle to find his rhythm. His second innings was slightly better but still not up to expectations, scoring 28 runs from 35 balls before being caught. These scores reflect a challenging challenge for Rohit, adding pressure as he looks to return to his best form in domestic cricket.
