Not just that, he was so obsessed with cricket that once at a party, he started playing with the dough balls (as he thought them playing balls) and later asked his family members that why there was no food and just balls all over the place.

It was a Litti Chokka party, the reason there was nothing else than the “balls.”

Soon, he started playing cricket at the sports hostel in Lucknow. He played there till the age of around 10 or 11, as his father was then posted to Srinagar, and the family decided to shift along with him.

Then for three years, Rahul didn’t play any cricket there. Later, in 2003, his father posted to Pune, and then only he started playing cricket again. He soon enrolled in Deccan Gymkhana and began honing his cricketing skills under Kedar Jogelkar and Hemant Athalye.
