New Delhi: On the World Oceans Day, the India cricket team deputy skipper Rohit Sharma took to social media to post an old photo of himself in which he can be seen spending some peaceful time near the ocean.

The fiery Indian opener in the caption of his tweet wrote, "Happy world ocean day. Let's keep our ocean and life underwater nice and healthy".


Indian sports personalities on Friday took to social media to share their views about the importance of World Environment Day, that is celebrated every year on June 5.

Ace India white-ball batsman Rohit Sharma took to Twitter and wrote, "This World Environment Day, embrace the outdoors from within. Join me in celebrating biodiversity- clear blue skies. Birds in balconies and wildlife roaming around our streets. It's time for nature. Happy World Environment Day 2020".


Rohit Sharma, known to be a complete family man, is spending time with wife Ritika and daughter Samaira, locked up in his Mumbai residence amid the Coronavirus lockdown in the country.

In his recent post on Instagram, team India's limited-overs vice-captain posted a video with daughter Samaira while working on his fitness and aptly captioned it: "These days are not coming back..."


Few days back, BCCI nominated Rohit Sharma for the prestigious Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna Award, the highest accolade a sportsperson can receive in India.
