Behno-Bhaiyo : Meet Rohit Sharma's lookalike younger brother: The man who quit his job on Hitman's request

Indian cricket captain Rohit Sharma has an immense fan following all around the world. Crowds gather just to catch a glimpse of him, and fans line up for a chance to take a photo with him. Often, these fans are momentarily deceived when they encounter Vishal, Rohit's younger brother, who bears a striking resemblance to him. This resemblance sometimes causes confusion among fans until they take a closer look and realise it's not their favourite Hitman.

Rohit and Vishal share a close bond. Despite his hectic schedule, Rohit makes time for his family and brother.

Recognising his passion, his uncle enrolled him in a summer camp when he was just 14 years old to further his cricket training.
