Rohit Sharma got in the spotlight for an unexpected reason after India’s victorious first ODI against West Indies at Thiruvananthapuram. A video of the former India captain slipping on the way off the team bus went viral on social media.
The incident happened on the night of September 27, 2026, after India defeated West Indies by eight wickets at the Greenfield International Stadium. When Rohit was walking from the bus to his hotel, the Indian team lost his balance.
Rohit Sharma Slips on Bus Stairs
Rohit can be seen walking down the stairs of the team bus in viral footage as he suddenly loses his footing. He slips and falls near the entrance.
Rohit’s support staff and security personnel immediately move toward him and help him back up. Rohit then regains his balance and walks away from the spot.
The surprise moment was quick to spread on the Web and fans on Twitter and on Facebook posted photos of the former captain in his seat. It was only a short scare, and no serious injury has been reported, it is believed, from the team.
Incident Happens After India’s Big Win
The bus incident came just after India started its three-match ODI series against West Indies with a convincing victory.
West Indies scored 295/7 after being asked to bat first. Justin Greaves scored a century for the visitors, but India's batting unit successfully chased down the target.
India reached 300/2 in 41.4 overs, winning the match by eight wickets and taking a 1-0 lead in the series.
Rohit Made a Quick Start
Rohit also contributed in India’s chase. Opening with Shubman Gill, he scored 32 runs from 35 balls and hit two fours and three sixes.
He and Gill gave India some attacking starts and put together a 74-run opening partnership before Rohit was dismissed.
Gill continued his excellent innings and scored a century, while Virat Kohli remained unbeaten on 139 to complete the successful chase.
The result gave India an early advantage in the three-match series.
Kohli Briefly Reacts
Virat Kohli was also visible near the scene when Rohit slipped. The video reports said Kohli appeared to react to the unexpected moment.
But in the viral footage, the main focus remains Rohit’s fall and the immediate reaction from the people around him.
