T20 World Cup 2022: Rohit Sharma asks 11-year-old boy to bowl at him in the nets – Watch video

Drushil
Chauhan
(11)
–
a
boy
of
Indian
origin
in
Perth
–
was
part
of
a
morning
event
at
the
iconic
WACA
ground
in
Perth
where
Team
India
arrived
for
the
practice
session.
Drushil’s
smooth
run-up
and
bowling
action
caught
the
attention
of
the
Indian
players
even
as
hundred-odd
children
were
playing
on
the
ground.
Impressed
with
Drushil
–
who
was
bowling
left-arm
pace
–
the
Indian
captain
called
him
from
the
pavilion
and
gave
him
a
chance
to
bowl
to
himself.

In
a
video
shared
by
the
BCCI.TV,
Drushil
was
shown
bowling
to
the
Hitman
and
described
the
entire
experience
as
a
big
moment
in
his
life.

Team
India’s
analyst,
Hari
Prasad
Mohan,
said
in
the
video,
“As
soon
as
we
entered
our
dressing
room,
We
were
able
to
see
100
or
so
kids
playing
and
enjoying
cricket.
And
there
was
one
young
kid
who
caught
everyone’s
eye,
and
Rohit
was
the
first
one
to
identify
the
kid,
and
after
watching
two
or
three
balls
that
the
kid
bowled,
everyone
was
amazed
by
his
smooth
run-up
and
how
naturally
talented
he
was.
He
was
constantly
beating
the
bat,
and
Rohit
immediately
went
out
of
the
dressing
room
and
called
the
kid
and
asked
him
to
bowl
a
few
more
balls,
where
we
could
sit
back
and
see
him
ball.”

“So
Rohit
went
out
and
invited
the
kid
to
come
and
bowl
a
few
balls
at
him
in
the
net,
and
it
was
a
great
sight
to
see.
He
was
also
allowed
to
walk
inside
our
dressing
room
and
share
some
moments
with
the
coaches
and
other
players.”

At

heard
asking
the

“You

How

To
which
he
replied,
“I

go

I
don’t
know
when
I
am
good
enough.”
