Childhood Coach Recalls Reaction of Young Rohit Sharma's To Mercedes Car Says, "I Will Buy It"
The captain of the Indian cricket team, Rohit Sharma, is among the prominent sports personalities in India. Besides leading the cricket team, Rohit also plays a huge role for the side as a batter. Like the majority of Indian cricketers, Rohit too hails from a humble background. His family had to borrow money to send him to a cricket camp in Borivali. Everything started with a dream of playing for India, and now Rohit is among the best batters in the world. Be it his game, fame, or money, Rohit has grown by leaps and bounds in all terms. Rohit's childhood coach, Dinesh Lad, revealed in a recent interview, Going Down Memory Lane, that the player once dreamt of buying a Mercedes.
While speaking, Lad said, “Once Rohit and I saw a Mercedes car, he said, ‘Sir, I will buy this car one day.’ It was the time when Rohit was selected for Mumbai’s Under-19 team. Was that possible? He had not played at any level back then and said that he wanted to buy a Mercedes. But he confidently said, ‘You see, I will buy it’.
On Monday, the captain of India, Rohit, celebrated the Test series win over England by saying his team’s young players had filled the shoes of missing veterans to shine in cricket’s toughest format.
