· Free Press Journal

Mumbai, July 18: Industrialist Harsh Goenka joined the ongoing debate over Rohit Sharma's ODI future with a cryptic post on social media on Saturday. His post comes at a time when reports have suggested that the Indian selection committee could be looking beyond the veteran opener after the ongoing ODI series against England.

The Chairman of RPG Enterprises shared a Hindi quote that read, "‘RoKo’ bhaiya! ‘Agar kar’ raha hai koi gadbad, yeh ‘Gambhir’ baat hai. Jo isko sahi raaste mein laayega uski ‘Jay’jaykar hogi!" While Goenka did not mention anyone directly, many fans believed the post was aimed at the selectors and the retirement speculation surrounding Rohit Sharma.

Breaking Down the Wordplay

'RoKo': The famous nickname given to India's legendary batting duo, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli.

'Agar kar': A direct nod to the Chief of the BCCI Men's Selection Committee, Ajit Agarkar.

‘Gambhir’: Meaning "serious" in Hindi, but clearly referring to India's Head Coach, Gautam Gambhir.

'Jay': Highlighting BCCI Secretary Jay Shah, hinting at the ultimate authority to bring things back on track ("Jay-jaykar").

The post quickly went viral on social media with users sharing different opinions in the comments. One fan wrote, "Kya gazab ki panktiyaan likhi hain sir! Kal aitihasik Lord's ke maidan par 'Gambhir' strategy taiyaar hai, aur jab maidan par 'RoKo' (Rohit-Kohli) ka bat garjega, toh virodhi team ka bachna mushkil hai. Kal toh sach mein jai-jaykaar hone wali hai!"

(What amazing lines you've written, sir! Tomorrow, at the historic Lord's ground, the 'serious' strategy is ready, and when 'RoKo' (Rohit-Kohli)'s bat roars on the field, it'll be tough for the opposing team to survive. Tomorrow, there will truly be cheers all around!)

Another user praised Goenka's wit and said, "Very nice sir... No wonder your X posts have reached newspaper columns....cheers!" Some users also commented, "Roko eoko," while others felt the message hinted at the ongoing controversy surrounding Rohit's place in the ODI team.

However, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) firmly stepped in to quash the narrative. BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia officially clarified the board's stance.
