Indian batter Sarfaraz Khan has opened up about his dream to be able to share the Indian dressing room with star batter Virat Kohli. Both of their names have been taken in India’s squad for the Test against Bangladesh which is set to begin from September 19.
Sarfaraz has previously played with Kohli for the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and expressed how it has always been a dream for him to share the dressing room with him.
Sarfaraz shared his experience with Kohli in the three years when he was part of the Bangalore team. He also said the Kohli follows a routine which has resulted in him being so successful at such high level.
“His (Virat Kohli’s) passion and spirit are unmatched. Whenever I saw him, even in the pre-match meetings, he’d take charge and tell everyone how many runs he’d score off a particular bowler and break that down for everyone,” Sarfaraz said
“I met him at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium for the first time. I had scored 45 runs in 21 balls here (Bengaluru) and he bowed at me. I had a lot of fun that day. It was a dream to share an Indian team dressing room with him it will come true in the future if I get the opportunity,” Sarfaraz said.
“He is clear about his game. He knows the work a player needs to keep doing and that criticism or praise shouldn’t affect your game. ‘This is my work, I have to do this in the morning, this in the afternoon, this in the evening, and sleep at a specific time,” Sarfaraz added.
