Indian Cricket Team skipper Rohit Sharma had a memorable moment at the NBA Abu Dhabi Games 2024 when he met legendary Spanish goalkeeper Iker Casillas.
Rohit attended the event with his wife, Ritika Sajdeh, and the meeting quickly became a sensation on social media, with fans excited to see two global sports icons together.
Casillas, who led Spain to victory in the 2008 UEFA Euros and the 2010 FIFA World Cup, is widely regarded as one of the greatest goalkeepers in football history.
This meeting came shortly after Team India’s 2-0 Test series win against Bangladesh under Rohit’s leadership.
