Delhi: Under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, India defeated New Zealand by 44 runs in Dubai on March 2 to make it to the semi -finals of the Champions Trophy 2025. India has not lost a single match in this tournament so far. However, despite this victory, a statement by Congress spokesperson Shama Mohammed on social media raised a controversy.
Shama Mohammed questioned the fitness and leadership capacity of Indian captain Rohit Sharma. He wrote on the social media platform X (first Twitter), “@IMRO45 is thick according to a player! Need to lose weight! And of course he is India’s most unpredictable captain. “
Pakistani journalist supports Rohit
This tweet by Shama Mohammed was called by Pakistan’s sports journalist as a harsh comment and said that Rohit is a world class player. However, Shama retained her statement and said, “What is the world -class in Ganguly, Tendulkar, Dravid, Dhoni, Kohli, Kapil Dev, Shastri and rest of them than her predecessors! Along with being an average captain, he is also an average player who has the privilege of becoming the captain of India. ”
Bit over weight but mighty effective and world class performer

Questions Rohit’s captaincy
Shama also questioned some decisions of Rohit Sharma. He said, “Did he not send KL Rahul to bat at number 3 in MCG Test and put himself at number 1, which was completely upside down!” Was it not a selfish step? Because of this, Shubham Gill had to be out of the XI. Did we not lose in the last World Cup in Ahmedabad? I have compared them to our previous captains. “
BJP spokesperson reversed
BJP spokesperson Shahzad Poonawala retaliated on this statement of Shama Mohammed. Referring to the poor election performance of the Congress, he said, “It is good to lose 6 zero and 90 elections in Delhi, but not to win the T20 World Cup? Rohit has a great record as a captain. “
Significantly, all the tweets with these statements of Shama have been deleted.
