Ahead of India’s T20 World Cup 2022 opening match, the skipper made the day of an 11-year-old cricketer, Drushil Chauhan in Australia. Rohit Sharma invited Drushil to the Indian dressing room and asked him to bowl to him in the nets.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India, shared a video on social media, featuring Rohit Sharma and the young prodigy. In the video, Drushil shared his experience of meeting the Indian skipper. He also expressed that his favorite ball to bowl was an inswinging yorker and an outswinger.
Rohit Sharma asked Drushil if he would like to play for the national team, to which the 11-year-old replied, that he does not when he will get to travel to India. The Indian skipper also gave Drushil his autograph. Sharing the video on Twitter, the BCCI wrote,
