India captain Rohit Sharma was subject to intense trolling after a faulty edit to one of his social media pictures.

Ahead of the Sri Lanka ODIs, Rohit Sharma and other stars have started their preparations. The India captain took part in a training session on Wednesday in Colombo along with the other players.

After the training, Rohit shared a few pictures of his batting on social media. Although it looked like a normal photo, fans quickly pointed out the glaring error. Fans spotted a fault in the edit as it was used to hide Rohit Sharma's belly.

The pictures went viral on social media and the fans started trolling the India captain. Amid the fan uproar, Rohit ended up removing the pictures from his social media profiles. Although the 37-year-old has been an advocate of class over fitness, it was strange to see him attempting such a method to prove pseudo-fitness.

The India captain made himself available for the Sri Lanka ODIs. This will be Rohit's first involvement in a 50-over match since the World Cup 2023 final defeat. Under the tutelage of Gautam Gambhir, the Indian team will be hoping to rise highest in the upcoming matches leading up to the Champions Trophy.

Apart from Rohit, Virat Kohli is also going to play in the ODIs and was seen having an intense chat with Gambhir. Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul are the other two returnees and will be hoping for an improved outing.
