Rohit Purohit talks about being part of ACB and his expectations from the tournament
Actors Cricket Bash is the newest cricket league. How do you feel being part of it as it is original cricket with actual cricket kit?
Yes I am really very excited and I am really looking forward to playing the matches.
ACB will only have men as cricket players so will the competitive streak be more?
It is and we have already started playing and the competition is really very professional. We are actually playing with the real season ball and as well it is very challenging compared to BCL where girls also played with the soft smiley ball. Here in ACL, it’s an actual leather ball.
What do you think of cricket which is religion in India
I think cricket is already a very religious thing in India. Also with the World Cup coming up, people have become more interested in playing and watching cricket. Although our national game is hockey, people consider cricket above of hockey and they really enjoy a lot. The other reason is that many cricketers who play for IPL and World Cup have now become role models for people and people are excited to watch them play.
Which is your favorite Test matches, One day or T20 matches?
I prefer T 20 matches because they are for a longer duration and t20 matches are real cricket. In these matches, you have to survive and keep the game going on and beat the opposite team.
This year Cricket World Cup is also coming what are the chances of India this time?
India has top chances as the team is very strong also this time, I see that the England team is also strong.
How you are preparing for ACB?
Well preparations have always gone well and I am always prepared for playing cricket.
Who is your favorite cricketer and why?
Well obviously, MS. Dhoni, I like his passion and commitment to playing cricket.
What are your expectations from Actors Cricket bash
Well there have already been 2 matches and everyone is enjoying ACB a lot. We are playing with the season ball and that has taken ACB to the next level. Everyone is really doing their best.
