Farhan couldn¡¯t hold back his frustration. "This guy has done so much for Indian cricket," he wrote on Instagram, sharing a picture of Rohit mid-swing, "and instead of people applauding his selflessness, they¡¯re tearing him down." The actor praised Rohit¡¯s exemplary leadership, emphasizing how few players, let alone captains, have the courage to make such a call.
"We¡¯ve seen the greatest batsmen and bowlers struggle for form... and here¡¯s a guy who¡¯s putting his team¡¯s chances of a win ahead of himself," Farhan continued.

Rohit¡¯s recent form slump has been hard to ignore. Failing to cross the 10-run mark in five innings, the whispers of his Test career ending have grown louder. However, Rohit clarified in a Star Sports interview, ¡°I'm not going anywhere... This decision is not a retirement decision nor am I stepping aside from the game." His commitment to Indian cricket remains intact, despite public doubts.
Netizens react
Farhan¡¯s message struck a chord, especially in today¡¯s social media-driven cricket world where players are often judged more harshly than ever before. "Ask yourself... why would anyone do this again if this is how the world responds to a man thinking of the larger cause than his own glory?" Farhan questioned, making it clear that Rohit¡¯s leadership comes from a place of strength and integrity.
As Farhan put it, "See you back on the field soon," reinforcing his belief that Rohit¡¯s return will be nothing short of legendary. After all, it¡¯s the quiet warriors like Rohit who truly make cricket unforgettable.
