India cricket team, led by skipper Rohit Sharma, arrived in Dubai on Saturday ahead of ICC Champions Trophy. The first set of players and support staff, including Virat Kohli & Gautam Gambhir, departed from Mumbai on Saturday afternoon. A video of Rohit from Dubai after the team’s arrival has gone viral, prompting fans to wonder if the Hitman had forgotten something again.
Did Rohit Sharma forget something yet again?
In the video, Rohit can be seen standing at the door of the team bus and speaking to a support staff. The Hitman has a history of forgetting his belongings during travel. It ranges from leaving behind his passport at the team hotel to forgetting his bags. Fans couldn’t help but wonder if one more such instance had occurred.

However, a Times of India report claimed that KL Rahul was the last cricketer to exit the Dubai airport. The report states that the keeper-batter had to head to the team hotel alone after walking out 20 minutes later than the rest of the team did. This could perhaps explain why Rohit was seen waiting at the door of the team bus and having a word with the support staff.
Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, Kuldeep Yadav, Varun Chakravarthy, Shreyas Iyer, Axar Patel, Harshit Rana and Arshdeep Singh were the Indian players who left for Dubai. From the support staff, bowling coach Morne Morkel, assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate, T Dilip were a part of the contingent that left for UAE. News agency ANI reported that Hardik was the last to join the team.
