New Zealand Champions Trophy Group: Congress spokesperson Shama Mohamed’s distasteful comments on India skipper Rohit Sharma have caused an uproar on social media. Sports Minister Mansukh Madaviya labelled the comments as ‘shameful and pathetic. ' The Congress spokesperson, during the New Zealand Champions Trophy Group A clash on Sunday, took to X to blatantly call the Indian skipper ‘fat. ’

“Rohit Sharma is fat for a sportsman! Need to lose weight! And, of course, the most unimpressive Captain India has ever had,” Shama wrote in a post on X.

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.
