IND vs WI: Rohit Sharma Takes a Nasty Fall from Team Bus Staircase After 1st ODI Win (WATCH)

Following Team India's eight-wicket ODI win over West Indies, Rohit Sharma slipped on the team bus stairs. The video went viral, sparking humorous and concerned reactions, before security officials quickly helped him to his feet.

Former Team India captain and star batter Rohit Sharma experienced an unexpected scare after arriving at the team’s hotel following an eight-wicket win over the West Indies in the three–match series at Greenfields International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram on Sunday, September 27.

The Men in Blue took a 1-0 series lead after chasing down a 296-run target in 41.4 overs. Virat Kohli’s unbeaten 139-run knock and his crucial 151-run partnership for the second wicket with skipper Shubman Gill, who scored 110 off 108 balls, helped the hosts secure a comfortable victory with more than eight overs to spare.

Earlier, Kuldeep Yadav led India’s bowling attack with a spell of 4/40 at an economy rate of 4 in his 10 overs, while Prasidh Krishna picked up two wickets while conceding 60 runs at an economy rate of 6 in 10 overs to restrict the visitors to 295/7, despite a 135-run opening partnership between Justin Greaves and John Campbell.

In a video that went viral on social media, especially X (formerly Twitter), Rohit Sharma was seen disembarking from the team bus when he unexpectedly lost his footing and slipped on the metallic staircase, taking a sharp tumble that instantly brought a halt to the celebratory mood around him. However, the security officials immediately assisted him to his feet, ensuring he was steady before he walked into the hotel lobby.
