Facts/Trivia

  I was at home with a few of my friends, but I did not inform my family about the auction. You always have the doubts, koi lega ya nahin lega (whether someone will pick you or not). I could not even watch it as I started praying when my name came up. As soon as it was confirmed that I will play for Jaipur, I ran to my parents and informed everyone that I have been bought by a PKL team.” ^[2]Quint

  He also talked about it was like fulfilling two dreams at once as he would get a chance to meet Abhishek Bachchan and said,

  I was over the moon when Jaipur Pink Panthers bought me. Abhishek Bachchan itne bade superstar hai, unse milna kaafi badi baat hai. Abhi kal hi mulaqaat hua hai ji. (Abhishek Bachchan is a superstar, it is a big thing for me to meet him. I met him just yesterday)”
