IND vs SL ODI: Rohit Sharma who is currently gearing up for the upcoming One Day International (ODI) series against Sri Lanka recently made news for his deleted social media post. Sharma who is set to lead Team India shared photos from his practice sessions, but one image, in particular, drew significant interest as fans spotted faulty editing. The same photo was shared by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), and as fans compared both the images, they claimed that the Indian skipper had edited the picture to hide his belly. After receiving lot of criticism from fans, Sharma has now deleted the picture from his social media handle.
