Indore ODI Incident: Woman Appeals to Rohit Sharma for ₹9 Crore Treatment
Woman Breaks Security to Grab Rohit Sharma’s Hand During Indore ODI, Seeks Help for Ailing Daughter: An unusual and emotional incident unfolded during the third ODI between India and New Zealand in Indore when a woman managed to breach security and enter the Indian team’s hotel, where she grabbed the hand of Indian batsman Rohit Sharma while pleading for help.
The incident occurred as Rohit Sharma was entering the hotel. A video that later surfaced on social media shows the woman dodging security personnel, rushing towards Rohit, and holding his hand while crying for help. The sudden breach prompted swift action from security officials, who escorted her away.
The woman was later identified as Sarita Sharma. In a subsequent video statement, she explained that her young daughter, Anika, is suffering from a serious illness that requires a life-saving injection sourced from the United States. According to Sarita, the cost of the injection is ₹9 crore, and so far the family has managed to raise ₹4.1 crore through donation camps and public appeals. However, she said time is running out.
Sarita revealed that she had been trying to meet cricketers Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, hoping they might help or amplify her appeal. “Cricketers often come forward to help children in need. I was desperate to save my daughter’s life,” she said. She added that she had also organized a donation camp during the match, but the funds raised were insufficient.
Emotional Scene in Indore as Woman Approaches Rohit Sharma for Daughter’s Treatment
Following the backlash and concerns over security, Sarita issued a public apology. She clarified that her intention was not to take a selfie or create a disturbance. “I lost control of my emotions and didn’t know what else to do. I just wanted help for my daughter,” she said, apologizing to Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and the authorities for her actions.
The incident has once again raised questions about stadium and hotel security during high-profile sporting events. This is not the first such case, as a similar incident recently occurred when a woman approached YouTuber Elvish Yadav seeking financial help for her child.
The video continues to circulate widely on social media, drawing mixed reactions—some expressing sympathy for the mother’s plight, while others emphasize the importance of maintaining security protocols around players.
