Rohit Sharma is one of the mainstays of the Indian batting line up. When he made his international debut, the world witnessed that he has a lot of potentials. However, he could not convert them into consistent scores. In 2013, MS Dhoni promoted him as the opener of the team. From there he never looked back. He started to score runs all around the world and became one of the most feared batsmen for the bowlers.
He is the only man to notch three double hundreds in One Day Internationals. His 264 against Sri Lanka at the Eden Gardens is the highest individual score by any batsmen in ODI’s. His destructive batting earned him the nickname ‘Hitman’. Currently, he is one of the best batsmen in the world and a modern-day cricket.
Once, a fan asked Rohit Sharma a strange question. There are many instances when fans ask the cricketers some strange questions to gain attention. In the year 2015, one such fan asked Rohit Sharma a strange question. Rohit also gave him a subtle reply.
A Fan asked Rohit Sharma a bizarre question on Twitter-

Fan tweet: “Your favourite nickname? Maggi man or hitman?”
Rohit’s response: “I prefer hitman”
@Sriram_MSD7 I prefer hitman
