Once in an Interview, he said –
Whatever I am today is because of Sachin Tendulkar. Had I not seen him play, I wouldn’t have come this far. I grew up watching him. Before every match, I think of Sachin. That gives me the courage and strength to score runs. Even when I used to play with the tennis ball in local tournaments. I always tried to copy Sachin Paaji’s strokes. My dream is to meet Sachin Tendulkar and take tips from him and wear the blue colours of team India one day.
