Twitter Explodes as Fans Troll Harshit Rana, Rohit Sharma & More
This week has entertained the cricket fans most, not just with the on-field drama but also the off-field scenes. Whether it is Harshit Rana showing up alone for the team dinner or Rohit Sharma reducing his weight, Twitter users left no chance to bring in trolls.
Cricket is now more of a source of entertainment for the fans. And this week has been like no other. Whether it is Rohit Sharma showing up slimmer than ever at the CEAT Awards or Harshit Rana coming to the dinner party hosted by Gambhir, fans have had a treat in memes.
Recently, Shubman Gill also came up with a press conference where he talked about his ODI captaincy. With Rohit being sacked, Rana becoming an all-format player, or even Shubman Gill giving interviews, the Twitter users left no chance to bring in trolls. Not only were these trolls for the players, they were also for the Indian Head Coach, Gautam Gambhir.
Let’s take a look at some of the funniest Twitter reactions from this week.
Targeted Gill Badly
Shubman Gill was present at a Press Conference hosted ahead of the second Test against the West Indies. He talked about how honoured he is to receive the ODI captaincy of the team and also said that he is willing to bring ICC trophies for the Indian team.
To this, a Twitter user asked others if Gill will now start performing in the knockout games or not. This was a hilarious way to troll how Shubman Gill has not been able to contribute well to the Indian team in the knockout games. His only good score in the knockout games came in the 2023 World Cup semi-final match against New Zealand.
GG Era Gets Sidelined
Rahul Dravid and Rohit Sharma are known to be the backbone of the Indian team, which won the T20 World Cup 2024. After that, India also went on to win the Champions Trophy 2025 with Gambhir as the Head Coach. For the CT 2025 win, Rohit Sharma received a special award in the CEAT Awards.
Even for the win at the Champions Trophy 2025, Rohit Sharma decided to give the credit to Rahul Dravid. With Gambhir being sidelined from the credit, fans knew it would be the right time to troll him. Responding to the statements made by the Hitman, a Twitter user asked what about the GG era, taunting Gambhir and him not receiving the credit.
Rohit’s Destiny Summarised
Rohit Sharma has played a crucial role as a captain in both IPL and international cricket. In the Indian Premier League, he led the Mumbai Indians for several seasons and helped the team win five trophies. Also, for the Indian team, he led the line-up to win two ICC trophies consecutively.
But the aftermath was totally not in his favour. Hardik Pandya replaced him as captain in MI, and now Shubman Gill has replaced him as captain in the Indian team. A Twitter user summarised his situation perfectly by using the Bahubali movie scene, when Katappa stabbed him in the back. This helped him to let the fans know how MI and the BCCI treated Rohit Sharma.
Dinner Party or Kitty Party?
Before the second Test between India and the West Indies, Gautam Gambhir held a dinner for the team at his residence. The entire Indian team attended the same ahead of the second Test. The very next day, Shubman Gill, the Indian skipper, was present at the Press Conference, where he was asked a number of questions.
However, none of the reporters asked any serious questions related to the dinner party which took place at the Head Coach’s residence. A Twitter user seemed to be keen to know what happened at the dinner party. Due to this reason, he asked who won the Tambola game in the dinner party, which came out to be a hilarious question to ask.
Gambhir Wants Credit
Shubman Gill’s press conference was filled with his talks about the future of the Indian cricket team. He also talked about his aspirations as a captain and how eager he is to play for the team in all three formats. Further, Gill added by saying that he will be going to win ICC trophies for the team.
The approach of Shubman Gill has been optimistic, but a Twitter user even told what Gill will do after he wins the ICC trophies. He said that after winning, Gill will give the credit to Gautam Gambhir. The relationship between credit and Gautam Gambhir has not been good these days, and maybe that’s why he appointed Gill as the skipper.
Every Indian Fan Could Relate
Lionel Messi is all set to visit India in December 2025. He will be visiting Delhi, Mumbai, and Kolkata, where he is also expected to meet cricket stars such as MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli. The tickets for his tour have now gone live and are selling out way too fast.
But there is a side of the story that almost every cricket and football fan could relate to. And it was perfectly described by a Twitter user, as he said that the football goat is coming to India, but he doesn’t have enough money to purchase the tickets. Maybe this is a way to show how high the tickets have been priced for the Messi tour.
Harshit Rana > Messi
Surely Lionel Messi is the Goat of football, and his visit to India will attract a number of fans. But at the same time, there is another cricketer who has quickly risen to fame, and it is Harshit Rana. Whether you call him being selected due to the Gambhir quota or anything else, the youngster has made it to the all-format international team.
Due to this reason, he has been the talk of the town, with fans making assumptions about how he made it to the team. With the Messi tour being hyped all around the country, a Twitter user decided to bring Harshit Rana to the scene. He said that Messi is still not as good as Harshit Rana, which is a great way to mock both of them.
Head and Rohit’s Bond
Rohit Sharma has faced a number of challenges to be selected for the Indian team after his retirement from the Test format. The BCCI selectors raised questions on his fitness, but the Hitman literally went on to lose 20 kgs of weight. After watching him at the CEAT Awards, fans were shocked by the transformation.
But there would have been someone who loved the transformation made by Rohit Sharma. A Twitter user created a meme for the same, using Travis Head’s image for the famous Bollywood meme, ‘Cocaine hai Cocaine.’ This was in context of the love Travis Head has for Rohit Sharma, which he also talked about in an interview.
No More Vadapav
The Indian fans are known for trolling the players who represent the country. And this also happened for Rohit Sharma, as he used to get immense trolling from the fans who called him Vadapav. These chants and trolls even continued in the IPL 2025, when fans could literally see Rohit Sharma’s stomach bulging out.
But his transformation has been surreal, as the fans spotted him in the finest shape at the CEAT Awards. This was the redemption arc for the Hitman, but a Twitter user described it perfectly using a viral scene of Mirzapur. Relating Rohit Sharma with Guddu Bhaiya, the scene matches with the Hitman now asking for full respect.
Typical Gambhir Style
Gautam Gambhir, India’s Head Coach, is known for providing some of the most hilarious and out-of-the-box answers. There have been several occasions when Gambhir was given a few options to answer, but he decided to bring in a new option and answer the same.
To this, a Twitter user created a perfect meme, noting the fact that Harshit Rana has received more opportunities these days. In the meme, Gambhir was asked to choose between Mitchell Starc and Jasprit Bumrah. And in response to the same, he decided to choose Harshit Rana.
No RoKo for Dinner
Gautam Gambhir’s dinner party has received more attention than the entire India vs West Indies test series itself. A single dinner party gave various things to the fans, such as Harshit Rana’s solo entrance to Gambhir’s residence or the possible discussions which could have taken place in the same.
But a Twitter user had come up with a question no one expected. He said that neither Rohit Sharma nor Virat Kohli were present or even invited for the dinner, which shows that there is a clear rift between them. Maybe he didn’t know that the dinner party had mainly the players of the Test squad against West Indies. And if Rohit and Virat were invited, the dinner party would have been a lot costlier for them.
T20 World Cup 2026 Plans
Since Rohit Sharma has retired from the Test format, things have gone good for Shubman Gill. He got the Test captaincy, and now, just before the Australia tour, he has also received the ODI captaincy. Now there is just one format remaining, where Gill is not the skipper, and it is the T20Is.
Suryakumar Yadav is currently leading the Indian team in the T20 format and is likely to maintain his spot till the T20 World Cup 2026. However, a Twitter user gave the best meme for this situation, where Shubman Gill and Gautam Gambhir are supposedly planning how they can remove Suryakumar from the T20 captaincy.
