NEW DELHI: The 26th edition of the annual Ceat Cricket Awards Ceremony, held in Mumbai on Wednesday, celebrated the achievements of Indian cricketers for both individual brilliance and team spirit.
While the event saw numerous prominent figures from the cricketing world, a heartwarming interaction between Rohit Sharma and Shreyas Iyer stole the pre-ceremony spotlight across social media platforms.
As the audience settled in, cameras captured Rohit Sharma, the T20 World Cup-winning captain, navigating the hall in search of his designated seat.
At that moment, Shreyas Iyer, seated in the second row, noticed Rohit’s dilemma. Iyer promptly rose from his seat and, with a gesture of respect, offered his place to the senior cricketer.
Rohit responded with a warm smile and a pat on the back.
Rohit, displaying humility, could not decline Iyer’s offer and chose to occupy a seat in the second row. At the same time, the Kolkata Knight Riders skipper found himself a seat just ahead of Rohit.
