Rohit Sharma invited Drushil Chauhan to bowl at the nets and also in the Indian dressing room
Speaking of the video, the boy shared his dream of becoming a cricketer. The Indian team analyst, Hari Prasad Mohan said: βWe arrived at the WACA for the afternoon practice session. Kids were wrapping up their morning event. So, as soon as we entered our dressing room, we were able to see about 100-odd kids playing and enjoying Cricket. There was one young kid who caught everyoneβs eyes and Rohit was the first one to identify the kid.β
βAfter watching two or three balls which the kid bowled, everyone was amazed by his smooth run-up ad how naturally talented he was. He was constantly beating the bat and Rohit immediately went out of the dressing room and called that kid and asked him to bowl a few more balls. So that we could sit back and see him bowl.β Prasad Mohan added. The kid shared that he was quite surprised and excited after knowing that he might get a chance bowling to the Indian skipper.
βRohit went out and invited the kid to come and bowl a few balls to him in the net. It was actually great sight to see. It was a memorable moment for the kid when he got the opportunity to bowl at the Indian captain. He even was allowed to walk inside our dressing room, sharing some key moments with the coaches and other players. It was actually a great sight to see.β the Indian team analyst concluded.
