NEW DELHI: Rohit Sharma not only enthralled the Jaipur crowd with a whirlwind century on his return to the Vijay Hazare Trophy for Mumbai against Sikkim, but also made the day memorable for fans with a heart-warming gesture while fielding on the boundary at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium.
A video that went viral on social media showed a fan from the stands asking Rohit Sharma if he wanted vada pav. The former India captain amused the crowd by responding with a hand gesture, signalling 'no'.

Rohit goes hammer and tongs
Rohit tore into an inexperienced Sikkim bowling attack with a scintillating 155 off 94 balls, powering Mumbai to a comfortable eight-wicket victory in their opening Group C match on Wednesday.
A near capacity crowd of 20,000-odd fans celebrated the Christmas eve witnessing the 'HitMan' carnage, which included 18 fours and nine sixes with Mumbai chasing down a target of 237 in just 30.3 overs.
His 37th List A hundred wasn't just about the quality. It was also about the entertainment quotient.
The now-familiar chants of "Mumbai chaa Rajaa Rohit Sharma" (Mumbai's King Rohit Sharma) reverberated across the stands as fans caught a glimpse of the star.
