The current Indian skipper Rohit Sharma is on a high of his career. Scoring his third double century to becoming the fastest batsman in the world to score a T20I century, he has achieved almost everything. But the journey to this day was not an easy one for Rohit Sharma.
Rohit Sharma is in exciting form breaking record after record and has been in the headlines recently for his six hitting ability and his marathon innings in the limited-overs format. There are many incidents which celebrities experience in common as we all do. And even the HITman had a horrifying experience.
Rohit Sharma has revealed how he was threatened with imprisonment by Mumbai police due to playing cricket! He recently spoke about the incident in Gaurav Kapur’s show “Breakfast With Champions”.
“My family always liked cricket. In a day, if not for all the 24 hours, at least 16 hours we used to watch cricket. All my chachas (uncles) and two buas (aunts) and all my chachas have played cricket, not at the highest level but in school and college,” Rohit told Kapur.
“Of course (my uncles got involved in my game). When I used to play in our building, my chacha used to watch me from the top, checking my batting. I have broken a lot of window glasses. There was a police complaint against me for breaking glasses.
“Once police came and threatened me with putting me in jail if repeated. All the neighbors were troubled by us daily (breaking glasses). We were three to four of us who played cricket always. Later we used to go to grounds and play but we never completely let go of playing in our building. We never gave up on that,” Rohit said.
Adding to this, the Hitman spoke about a lot of other different things, which include his first meeting with his wife Ritika, pranks played by the Indian cricketers, the day when he forgot his wedding ring in his hotel room, Sachin Tendulkar and more.
