In yet another classic “Hitman moment,” India captain Rohit Sharma’s forgetful nature was on display once again — this time at the Ranchi airport, just hours after India’s win in the 1st ODI against South Africa.
A video circulating online shows Rohit walking with the team when a member of the support staff rushes toward him holding an empty AirPods case that the skipper had left behind on the team bus. The staffer taps Rohit and hands it over, and the skipper smiles before putting it away — leaving fans amused all over again.
The clip was recorded as Team India departed from Ranchi a day after their strong start to the ODI series.
Rohit’s forgetful moments are legendary
For years, Rohit Sharma has carried the reputation of being adorably forgetful. This latest AirPods incident adds to a long list of moments that fans still laugh about.
Just recently, Rohit forgot the ICC Champions Trophy in the press room immediately after winning it. A support staff member had to run behind him with the trophy, reminding him of the ultimate souvenir he nearly left behind.
Rohit Sharma and his habit of forgetting things.😭❤️🙏

The Indian captain has also been known to misplace:
• his passport
• his mobile phones
• belongings in the team bus and hotel rooms
In a chat with Harbhajan Singh, Rohit once narrated how he even forgot what he had decided at the toss during a Champions League game. Despite deciding in the team meeting to bowl first, he went out and said, “We’ll bat.” Mumbai Indians still won the match — but the incident became part of Rohit’s fun folklore.
Even Virat Kohli once joked on a show, saying that Rohit forgets everything… but never his cricket kit.
Fans react: “Peak Rohit Sharma behaviour”
The AirPods case moment has triggered a wave of reactions online, with fans calling it:
• “Peak Rohit Sharma behaviour”
• “Hitman being Hitman”
• “He forgets everything except scoring runs”
With India set to travel for the second ODI, one thing is certain — Rohit’s batting brilliance stays unforgettable, even if his AirPods don’t.
