Rohit Sharma gives a Perfect reply to the fan when asked about his Nickname

India’s swashbuckling opener Rohit Sharma is one of the vital cogs of the Indian batting line up. While he started as a middle-order batsman, MS Dhoni promoted him as the opener of the team in 2013. Since then, he has tasted only success and became one of the fearless cricketers as well.

He is the only player to three double tons in One Day Internationals. His 264 against Sri Lanka at the Eden Gardens is the highest individual score by any batsmen in the 50-over format so far. And his flamboyant batting earned him the nickname ‘Hitman’.

A fan tweeted: “Your favorite nickname? Maggi man or hitman?”
Rohit’s replied: “I prefer hitman”
