Rohit Sharma's 13-year-old tweet, which references "45-77," has gone viral on social media after the BCCI named Shubman Gill as the new ODI captain ahead of the Australia ODI series, set to start in October 2025. The 38-year-old on September 14, 2012, tweeted, "End of an era (45) and the start of a new one (77)." Interestingly, Sharma wears the #45 jersey for India, and Gill wears the #77 jersey. Since Rohit's tweet has gone viral, there has been considerable speculation on social media. However, Grok AI has revealed that Rohit's old tweet was after he changed his jersey number from 45 to 77 on his mother's advice, hoping for better luck in ODIs. Grok added that Sharma later switched back to 45.
