Rohit Sharma NFT: Indian opener announces launch of NFT collection
Seasoned opener Rohit Sharma is the latest Indian cricketer to announce the launch of his NFT (non-fungible token) collection. On Wednesday, Rohit took to social media to inform his fans of the same.
Rohit Sharma’s NFT announcement comes just a few days after former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh revealed that he would be launching his cricket NFT collection for fans on December 25. Yuvraj made the announcement on his 40th birthday on December 12.
Taking to his official Twitter account on Wednesday, Rohit tweeted:
"Which is your favourite Hitman moment? #FanCraze #FanCrazeXRohitSharma #NFT."

34-year-old Rohit was recently appointed captain of the Indian ODI team as well as vice-captain of the Test squad, which is presently in South Africa. Rohit was ruled out of the three-match Test series, which gets underway in the Rainbow nation on Boxing Day, due to a hamstring injury. There is still no clarity on his availability for the ODIs, which will begin next month.
