It was in 2013 that India won the ICC Champions Trophy in England. The victory was memorable and Indian cricketers (both past and present) don’t shy away from gloating about the win.

Not to be left behind, cricketer Rohit Sharma shared a tweet celebrating the ICC Champions Trophy win along with a throwback photograph that was taken right after the tournament’s final on June 23, 2013. Shikhar Dhawan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Suresh Raina and Rohit are seen celebrating with the trophy.

There was nothing wrong with the tweet except the hashtag Rohit used to promote it. The tweet read: “These are some memories you cherish for long #ChampionsTrophy2017 #23rdJune.”

The tournament was unforgettable especially for Rohit who scored 177 runs in the five matches India player at an average of 35.40 runs.

His use of the wrong hashtag sparked quick reactions from the Twitterati. While India did reach the finals of the tournament in 2017, it lost to Pakistan. The tweet prompted a storm of comments from fans and Rohit deleted the tweet and reposted the picture with the corrected hashtag.

The tweet surprised some of Rohit’s teammates. Suresh Raina tweeted in response:

Fans got together to troll Rohit Sharma:

They were quick to create memes:

With India’s unbeaten winning streak in ICC Cricket World Cup 2019, we hope the Men in Blue will lift the trophy this time too. But, undoubtedly, the players ought to be more careful in celebrating their success!
