Meanwhile, the cricket board has released a video of the boy who attracted Indian captain Rohit Sharma during practice a couple of days ago.
In the morning at the Perth stadium, many boys practiced as per their coach’s advice. Indian captain Rohit Sharma, who was watching with interest, was impressed by the left-hand delivery of an 11-year-old boy named Durushil Chauhan. Rohit Sharma immediately called the boy and encouraged him to throw some balls to him in net practice. Rohit played with the balls thrown by the boy. He then autographed and presented the photo as a souvenir. Drushil Chauhan has said that he wants to play for the Indian team in the future.
