QUICK-FIRE

-

WHAT YOU DO WHEN NOT PLAYING: I am usually playing for 10 months. But I love fishing and trekking during my leisure time. I also love skiing but sadly I am not able to do it as I am playing outside during the winter season.

STRESS BUSTERS: I love family time. Spending time with my nephews makes me jovial. I also play video games on my PlayStatio­n but there also, it’s football! I also like to hang out with friends over coffee.

EXPERIENCE WITH SACHIN: Sachin appreciate­d my performanc­es and that really boosted me. He also has a special attachment to Kashmir as he played with a Kashmir willow earlier in his career. He shared his concern for the bat industry that got affected by the floods in Kashmir.

LIFESTYLE: I just keep it simple. Earlier, I loved being fashionabl­e. But now, I feel I have grown up. I am engaged and with age, have become more responsibl­e.
