Team India had reached Canberra to play a pink ball practice match against Australia's Prime Minister's XI. During this, the 10 years old wish of an Indian fan was fulfilled. However, for this he had to work hard and adopt many measures. Actually, hundreds of fans had come to watch the practice match of the Indian team held on 1 December. Before the match, captain Rohit Sharma went to meet him. During this time, a fan became very excited after seeing him and started shouting loudly for his autograph. After this the Indian captain fulfilled his 10 year old wish.
BCCI has shared a video. In this, this huge fan of Rohit Sharma can be seen shouting his name amidst a crowd of hundreds. He told that he has been waiting for his autograph for 10 years. He said 'Rohit, Rohit bhai, Rohit bhai please, it's been 10 years man.' At this time the Indian captain was giving autographs to other fans. He was not able to reach this fan even though he wanted to. When this did not work, he tried another trick and started shouting 'Rohit Bhai is the king of Mumbai'. Hearing this, everyone present there including Rohit started laughing. Then he got an autograph.
The wait of a decade finally ends. A fan waited for 10 years to get a @ImRo45 autograph and yesterday was his lucky day

There is to be a day-night test between India and Australia in Adelaide, in which pink ball will be used. To prepare for this, India played a two-day practice match in Canberra. The first day had to be canceled due to rain. On the second day, Rohit Sharma won the toss and chose to bowl first so that the team's batsmen could practice batting with the pink ball at night. In this match of 46-46 overs, PM XI's team batted first and scored 240 runs. Team India achieved the score easily. However, Rohit Sharma was out after playing only 11 balls.
