Rohit Sharma and four other cricketers who were captured on video in a Melbourne restaurant recently in apparent breach of quarantine, and now are being trolled for allegedly ordering food containing beef have found support with the fans of the Mumbai Indians skipper hitting back at the trolls for targetting Rohit on Twitter, making #IStandWithRohit the top trend of Sunday morning in the micro-blogging website.
While Rohit along with Rishabh Paht, Shubman Gill, Navdeep Saini, and Prithvi Shaw are in the docks breaching quarantine protocol that has led them to be isolated, for the time being, it was Rohit who bore the maximum brunt on social media after an unverified image of the bill that a fan paid surfaced online. While the fan Navaldeep Singh shared the bill he paid - on behalf of the cricketers - with part of it hidden with his hand, a second image that went viral on social media had the bill in its entirety with an order containing beef in it. This outraged the Twitter users who targeted Rohit.
He becomes Animal Activist on Holi and Diwali to lecture Hindus.On other days, he and his team eat beef.
According to him, celebrating Holi and Diwali is irresponsibility towards animals.
But eating beef and subsidizing cow slaughter is Animal Activism.

Though He lied about hugging pant, it might be a possibility that the whole plot might be a fluke for gaining publicity. We can’t judge & bash the players just because of this bill & his side of story.Proofs are indicating it might be his own bill.@ImRo45 #IStandWithRohit pic.twitter.com/VchNVsgDLv— Ankit Anand (@iamankitanands) January 3, 2021

The five players will be kept separate from the broader Indian and Australian squads when traveling and at the training venue but will be permitted to train in accordance with protocols that have been put in place.
