Rohit Sharma received a special tribute from the ICC Hindi Instagram handle, being named ‘Sikandar of Bharat.’ This title was inspired by Salman Khan's upcoming film ‘Sikandar,’ directed by A.R. Muragadoss, which also stars Rashmika Mandhana. The name ‘Sikandar’ means ‘warrior,’ fitting both Salman Khan and Indian cricket captain Rohit Sharma, who are warriors in their respective fields.
The ICC honored Rohit Sharma for leading the Indian team to its third Champions Trophy title and securing his second ICC title in just nine months as captain. His contributions were crucial in the finals, where he was named Player of the Match for his significant performance.
Salman Khan's film ‘Sikandar’ is set to release as an Eid special, and the teaser has already launched alongside two songs from the album. These previews and songs have received a blockbuster response from fans, who are eagerly awaiting the film's release.
This tribute from the ICC for Rohit Sharma not only recognizes his achievements but also promotes Salman Khan's ‘Sikandar,’ creating interest among fans of both personalities. The entire strategy from the ICC effectively honors Rohit Sharma with his new title, ‘Sikandar of Bharat,’ while also generating excitement for the upcoming film.
In the meantime, Rohit Sharma is enjoying personal time with his family on vacation in the Maldives before the IPL 2025 season begins. He will kick off his stint with the Mumbai Indians on March 23, as they face the Chennai Super Kings at Chepauk.
