•The significant error sparked outrage among Rohit Sharma's fans on social media, leading to widespread trolling of the broadcasters.
•BCCI later removed the controversial clip from its official handle following the backlash.
•Despite the blunder, Shubman Gill and Smriti Mandhana were named Best International Cricketers for 2024-2025, and Gill received his second Polly Umrigar Award.
