Watch: Rohit Sharma on 'daddy duty', asks crowd to stay quiet while his daughter sleeps

India captain Rohit Sharma, who was recently replaced as the skipper of his IPL team Mumbai Indians, is known to not mince his words when it comes to expecting discipline from his players. And he expects the same from his fans as well, which can be seen in a video that has surfaced on social media.

The video shows Rohit carrying his daughter, Samaira, who is sleeping on his shoulder, while wife, Ritika, walks behind him as they seem to be coming out of a airport to board their car.

As the crowd shouts to get Rohit's attention, the India captain asks them to stay quiet, gesturing with finger on his lips, as the noise would wake up his daughter.

It is unclear if it's a recent video or an old one that resurfaced on social media, but has garnered a lot of attention from the fans.

MI's decision to replace Rohit with Hardik Pandya as the teams' captain has led to a lot of backlash, with Hardik facing the ire of the crowd during the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League.
