‘Shana For A Reason’: Rohit Sharma’s Shock Pen Prank Triumphs

New Delhi, November 07, 2025: A highly amusing video clip featuring Indian cricket star Rohit Sharma has achieved viral status after he successfully executed an elaborate ‘shock pen’ prank on his friends and former teammate, Dhawal Kulkarni. The footage, which was posted on his official social media account, quickly amassed millions of views, showcasing the lighter, mischievous side of the usually calm cricketer who is affectionately nicknamed “Shana” (Clever/Smart).

The Trick Pen and the Unsuspecting Victims

The prank was initiated when one of Rohit’s friends offered him a tricky pen, designed to deliver a mild electric shock when its button was pressed. Immediately recognizing the gag, Rohit was seen declining the pen and announcing his intention to use it on “someone very special.”

The pen was first tried on a friend in a cafe who was visibly startled by the unexpected jolt, leading to a burst of laughter from Rohit and the surrounding company. The target was then escalated to former India and Mumbai teammate Dhawal Kulkarni, who was exercising with fellow cricketer Shardul Thakur in a gym.
