WATCH: Rohit Sharma slips off team bus stairs in Thiruvananthapuram, star leaves fans concerned

Thiruvananthapuram: A video capturing former Indian captain Rohit Sharma slipping while alighting from the team bus on Sunday, 27 September 2026, has gathered widespread attention across social media platforms. The incident took place outside the team hotel in Thiruvananthapuram following India's eight-wicket victory over the West Indies in the first One-Day International. In the short clip, the senior opener lost his footing on the bus stairs and slid towards the doorway before support staff and security personnel rushed to assist him back to his feet.

Concern over Incident and BCCI Status

The unexpected tumble sparked immediate concern among teammates, with star batter Virat Kohli looking visibly worried in the background. While online reactions ranged from relief and light-hearted humour to worry regarding potential injury, no official medical update or injury statement has been issued by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) or team management. Rohit apparently recovered quickly from the fall without showing immediate signs of serious distress.

The off-field scare occurred shortly after India's commanding performance at Greenfield International Stadium. India comfortably chased down West Indies' target of 296 runs, driven by fine centuries from captain Shubman Gill (110) and Virat Kohli (139 not out), who put on a decisive 151-run partnership. Rohit contributed 32 runs at the top of the order alongside Gill before being dismissed by Alzarri Joseph. Holding a 1–0 lead in the three-match series, the Indian team turns its focus to the second ODI at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on Wednesday, 30 September.
