I have played as an all-rounder, opening batsman and a fast bowler. Last year, I was the captain of Ahmedabad team and this year I am leading the Bengaluru Warriors team as a wicket keeper, opening batsman. So I have explored all possibilities as a cricketer in a team in BCL in all these years.

We prepare for BCL by spending more and more time together as a team, we practice and practice. All sweat, happiness and togetherness that we share will always reflect in our games of Bengaluru Warriors.

BCL is a perfect combination of glamour and entertainment what is your take on that.

BCL is a sports reality show, where boys and girls come together to follow one religion, which is the one common religion of the country that is cricket. When so many actors play cricket, they are bound to attract attention in the form of glamour, entertainment, competition and fight for glory.

BCL is famous for controversies. What is your take on that?

Where there is an actor, there will be controversies and when there will be 150 plus television celebrity actors, there will a bombardment of controversies and full-on entertainment.

The youth loved BCL last year on MTV. The youth audiences loved it. Comment.

Youth loves anything which is real and entertaining and BCL is all about real actors playing real entertaining cricket
