Rohit Sharma handed over an autographed hat to a young Indian fan after she was hit by one of Sharma’s sixes during the 28-run win against Bangladesh at Edgbaston. The attacking opener smashed seven fours and five sixes during his 92-ball-104 which earned him the man of the match award.
It was another one of the classic ‘Rohit Sharma’ shows on display in Birmingham yesterday as the classy Indian opener led his side to a respectable total of 314 on a tricky pitch at Edgbaston. The Indians did enough to ensure that they ran out comfortable winners in the end and secured a spot in the semi-finals alongside defending champions Australia.
However, en route to his 92-ball 104 Sharma ended up injuring a young Indian fan in the stands after one his sixes struck her on the face. The Mumbai Indians skipper was kind enough to meet the girl, identified as Meena, after the match to present a yellow autographed hat.
She got hit by a maximum and the opener was kind enough to check on her and give her a signed hat.

Sharma set the tone for India's domination, putting on 180 runs with opening partner KL Rahul, who made 77. Virat Kohli-led India has now won six of their eight matches and would be playing their final group game against Sri Lanka in Leeds on Saturday.
