During the India-New Zealand Champions Trophy Group A clash on Sunday, the Congress spokesperson took to X and labelled Rohit \"fat sportsman\" and even called him an \"unimpressive captain\".<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cRohit Sharma is fat for a sportsman! Need to lose weight! And of course the most unimpressive Captain India has ever had,\u201d Shama wrote in a post on X.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Reacting to the issue, the BCCI secretary said such comments coming from a politician at a time when Team India is playing an ICC tournament is really shocking.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"This is unfortunate; such comments for our captain are really unacceptable. Team India is playing an ICC tournament and the team is all set to play the semi-final match, and a politician saying all this is shocking. We will look into the matter\", Saikia told IANS.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Shama's comments on Rohit triggered huge backlash from all quarters, and the issue snowballed into a big controversy, which led the Congress party to direct Shama to delete her social media post on Rohit.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
