Drushil Chauhan, an 11-year-old cricket enthusiast, had a moment to remember when he got an opportunity to bowl at skipper Rohit Sharma during India’s practice session here ahead of the T20 World Cup.

Drushil was one of the many kids present at the WACA ground for the morning session. He impressed everyone with his smooth bowling action after the Indian team arrived for its afternoon practice session. India skipper Rohit invited Drushil to bowl at him in the nets.

“We were at the WACA for a noon practice session and kids were finishing their morning event. We could see 100-odd kids playing cricket from our dressing room. One caught everyone’s attention, especially Rohit,” Hari Prasad Mohan, Team India’s analyst, said in a video posted by the BCCI.

“Everyone was amazed by his smooth run-up, his natural talent. He was constantly beating the bat. Rohit went out to ask him to bowl few balls in the nets. It was an amazing sight.” Drushil was invited to the team’s dressing room as well. “I was very surprised, my dad told me that I might be able to bowl to him. So I got really excited,” said the left-arm swing bowler.
