Rohit Sharma has found himself many admirers after smashing a record five centuries in a single World Cup. The long list also includes actress and parliamentarian Kirron Kher, who took to Instagram on Tuesday to wish Team India just ahead of the much-anticipated India vs New Zealand semi-final. Her post comes with a special mention for Rohit Sharma, whom she - like many others - refers to as "Sharma ji ka beta".
"2 more games to go, which means 2 more tons from Sharma Ji ka honhaar beta," wrote Ms Kher. "Put your best foot forward boys. Here's wishing @virat.kohli and his boys all the best for the big semi final today," she added.
Her post has collected thousands of 'likes' and a number of appreciative comments.
