[Saba Sports News] The official broadcasters of the India-England Test series drew a creative comparison between Indian captain Rohit Sharma and Hrithik Roshan’s character in the 2024 Bollywood action film ‘Fighter’. Celebrating both the start of the Test series and the release of ‘Fighter’, JioCinema shared an AI-generated image on social media, portraying Rohit Sharma as a Squadron Leader, similar to Roshan’s character in his Indian Air Force-themed movie.
This coincided with the first day of the Test at Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, where Rohit Sharma’s leadership was pivotal in bowling out England for 246 in 64.3 overs. His spinners, Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja, played key roles in dismantling the English batting, aided by Axar Patel and Jasprit Bumrah.
Later, Sharma scored a swift 24 runs and established an 80-run opening partnership with Yashasvi Jaiswal. After Sharma’s dismissal by Ben Stokes off Jack Leach, Jaiswal continued to lead India’s charge, reaching 119-1 by the end of Day 1. India ended the day trailing England by 127 runs, with nine wickets remaining.
