New Delhi, March 9 Bharatiya Janata Party on Sunday hailed Rohit Sharma under whose captaincy Team India won the ICC Champions Trophy, beating New Zealand by 4 wickets in the finale at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
The party also took a dig at the Congress for body-shaming controversy involving Rohit Sharma.
Captain Rohit Sharma top-scored with 76 while Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul and Hardik Pandya chipped in with important contributions to give India their third Champions Trophy triumph with a four-wicket win over New Zealand.
In a cryptic post on X, the BJP wrote, โUnder Rohit Sharmaโs captaincy, Team India wins T20 World Cup 2024โฆTeam India wins #ChampionsTrophy 2025. ๐๐๐๐ง๐ฐ๐ก๐ข๐ฅ๐, ๐๐จ๐ง๐ ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ฌโฆโ
The BJPโs cryptic post came days after Congress spokesperson Shama Mohamed made harsh remarks on Indian cricket captain Rohit Sharma.
Shama Mohamed taking to her social media handle commented, โRohit Sharma is fat for a sportsman. Need to lose weight! And of course, the most unimpressive Captain India has ever had.โ
However, after Team Indiaโs win, Congress leader Shama Mohamed on Sunday praised Rohit Sharmaโs captaincy.
In a post on X, she wrote, โCongratulations to #TeamIndia for their stupendous performance in winning the #ChampionsTrophy2025! Hats off to Captain @ImRo45 who led from the front with a brilliant 76, setting the tone for victory. @ShreyasIyer15 and @klrahul played crucial knocks, steering India to glory! A triumph to remember!โ
Meanwhile, the Congress also congratulated the Team India.
The party said in an X post, โ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐. The Indian cricket team has won the Champions Trophy by defeating New Zealand. Every citizen of the country is proud of the excellent performance of Team India. Team India has achieved this milestone due to the excellent performance of each and every player of the team.
