The Indian Cricket captain Rohit Sharma has found himself in trouble with the law. This news comes just a few hours before the Indian team is set to play against Bangladesh in Pune. It is an important game for both the teams in the ODI World Cup 2023 tournament. 

Rohit Sharma has been given a huge wrap on his knuckles by the local law enforcement. The Indian skipper was found to be speeding on the Mumbai to Pune expressway. What is more shocking is that Rohit Sharma was driving the car instead of traveling in the team bus.

The game on Thursday is the fourth game for both teams. India has played and won all three games so far. Bangladesh on the other hand have lost their last two games of the ODI World Cup campaign. 

Rohit Sharma faces the wrath of law – 

Indian skipper Rohit Sharma has been called out by the cops for his speeding. The 36-year-old was found to be driving at high speeds on his way to Pune for the game on Thursday against Bangladesh.

It is reported that cops found the Indian skipper driving his car at speeds much above the permissible limits. The cops also advised the Indian skipper to travel by the team bus in the midst of a huge tournament that India is playing.

Last year Rishabh Pant was involved in a huge car crash while on his way home to celebrate the New Year. The 26-year-old is on the way to full recovery but has nearly missed a year away from the game due to multiple injuries suffered.

The Indian cricket fans are seeing Rohit Sharma pick form at the right time. The Indian skipper began with a duck against Australia. This failure was followed by an amazing 131 runs from 84 balls against Afghanistan in New Delhi. This was the 7th century for Rohit Sharma in World Cups.

Against Pakistan, Rohit Sharma yet again went on the offensive to score 86 runs from 63 balls. The assault left the Pakistani pace bowlers in complete shock as India went on to win the game by 7 wickets.
