Rohit Sharma has just posted a new video on Instagram. The video has received nearly 9 million views within a couple of hours.
In the video, the “hitman” is seen doing heavy workouts at the gym 99% of the time. But, during the rest of “1%”, he is having fun. The video starts with what the India cricket captain does during his workout sessions. However, it’s the 1% fun that grabs many more eyeballs.
Rohit is seen having a good laugh, going for a false high-five and teasing fellow gym-mates - all in one video. He is seen deliberately pushing other boys just for fun. Throughout the video, Rohit Sharma’s fun-loving nature is the focus.
The video uses the Marathi song Taambdi Chaamdi in its background. The original song, released by Spinnin' Records, has already garnered nearly three million views in two weeks. The song is created by Shreyas Sagvekar and Krunal Ghorpade, aka Kratex. Using the song in his video, Rohit Sharma is apparently promoting independent Marathi music.
Netizens have reacted generously to the video. Here are some of the reactions.
“Sir aap "Hitman" ho kuch bhi kar sakte ho....love & respect forever”
“1% shana for reason”
“Shana bhai full on fire”
“Only Rohit Sharma can do”
“Rohit Sharma is the king of Mumbai, all our people speak from heart”
