Social Media Reacts to Daryll Cullinan’s Controversial Comments on Rohit Sharma’s Fitness
Former South African cricketer Daryll Cullinan sparked a storm by calling India’s captain Rohit Sharma “overweight” in comparison to Virat Kohli, questioning his physical condition for Test cricket. Fans have taken to social media to share their reactions, defending or debating his remarks, adding fuel to the ongoing discussions.
Social media is abuzz after former South African cricketer Daryll Cullinan described Indian captain Rohit Sharma as “overweight” and unsuitable for a long Test series. Cullinan, speaking to Inside Sport, highlighted the stark difference in physical fitness between Sharma and Kohli, calling Sharma’s conditioning inadequate for enduring series like the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
Rohit’s recent form has been under scrutiny. After missing the first Test in Australia due to personal reasons, he returned to scores of 3 and 6 in Adelaide, raising concerns. He remarked:
Look at Rohit, then at Virat. Notice the difference in their physical condition. Rohit is overweight, and not a long-term cricketer anymore. He is not in a good physical condition to play in a four or a five-match Test series.
The debate over Rohit’s leadership and form continues to dominate online platforms, with opinions divided on whether fitness issues are affecting his performance or if criticism is exaggerated. Let’s see how social media reacted to this bizarre comment of this veteran cricketer.
