Rohit Sharma’s 2012 Tweet Goes Viral After Gill Captaincy

Rohit Sharma’s 2012 Tweet Goes Viral After Gill Captaincy

The Board of Control for Cricket in India announced Shubman Gill as India’s new ODI captain on Saturday, October 4, replacing Rohit Sharma despite his recent Champions Trophy triumph. The leadership change has sparked widespread discussion across social media, particularly reviving a cryptic tweet from Rohit’s past.

The Prophetic Tweet from 2012

A 13-year-old tweet posted by Rohit on September 14, 2012, has gone viral following the captaincy announcement. The message read: “End of an era (45) and the start of a new one (77)…” The numbers carry significant meaning—45 is Rohit’s ODI jersey number, while 77 belongs to Gill. Social media users are claiming the tweet eerily predicted this exact moment in Indian cricket history.

The timing of the resurfaced post has captivated cricket fans, with many viewing it as an uncanny coincidence. Rohit’s original tweet, posted over a decade ago, now appears remarkably prescient given the recent captaincy transition.

Rohit Remains in Playing Squad

Despite losing the captaincy, Rohit Sharma has been included in India’s ODI squad for the upcoming three-match series against Australia. The 37-year-old’s experience will still be valuable to the team as they enter a new era under Gill’s leadership.

The captaincy change marks a significant shift in Indian cricket’s white-ball setup, with the younger Gill taking the reins after Rohit’s successful tenure that culminated in ICC Champions Trophy glory. The viral tweet has added an unexpected narrative twist to this transition, creating buzz among cricket enthusiasts worldwide.
