Cricket News: Pragyan Ojha, a former cricketer for India, said he had a touching conversation with India skipper Rohit Sharma. He also said he met Rohit in the U15 national camp. In addition to the Indian team, Ojha and Rohit have played together for the Mumbai Indians (MI) and Deccan Chargers (DC) franchises of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Ojha revealed that Rohit was a very special player in the U15 national camp during an interview with JioCinema. The left-arm spinner claimed that during training, he played against the Mumbaikar and took his wicket. He added, however, that while Rohit used to play aggressively against him, he did not talk much during that time. He proceeded to express that from the start, he asked why Rohit is acting like this to him yet added that their kinship started after that.
“Everyone said that Rohit was a very special player when I first met him in the U-15 national camp. I competed against him there and took his wicket. As a typical Bombay (Mumbai) man, Rohit played aggressively but spoke little. As a matter of fact, I was extremely shocked concerning why he was so forceful with me when we didn’t have a clue about one another! But after that, our friendship started to grow,” Ojha added.
I now feel very proud whenever I see Rohit: Pragyan Ojha
Ojha recalled a previous conversation he had with the Mumbai batter in which he revealed that the Indian skipper once became emotional while discussing how he purchased his cricket uniforms and that Rohit used to purchase uniforms after delivering milk packets. Ojha added that when he sees Rohit’s current position, he now feels very proud of him. Ojha and Rohit, for example, played for the Deccan Chargers in the inaugural IPL. Additionally, the two cricketers collaborated on 24 Indian matches.
“He came from a middle-class family, and I remember him getting emotional once when we talked about how much money he had to spend on cricket uniforms,” Ojha stated. “In point of fact, he also delivered milk packets – obviously, that was a very long time ago – so that he could buy his kit.”
He went on to say, “Now that I see him, I feel very proud of how our journey started and where we got to.”
