Mumbai: Amidst the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup 2019, superstar actor Hrithik Roshan has praised veteran Indian wicket-keeper Mahendra Singh Dhoni and has said that the latter’s deeds are inspirational.
“My mother and I, we like Mahendra Singh Dhoni. I feel he is a very good teacher, he is a great thinker. My mom will be very happy that I have taken his name, I think he is very inspiring, sorted and a planner,” Hrithik said while promoting his upcoming movie ‘Super 30’ on a sports channel, Sunday.
As fans are cheering Sunday for India team during the match against England, the actor shared his memory from the India-England match from 2011 World Cup, read a statement.
“I remember I had planned to go and watch the game in the stadium but due to some last minute work I could not make it, but after finishing my work I watched the last over in my house with my family and we really enjoyed the great victory,” the statement read.
It was a complete goof-up by the person who made Hrithik’s statement as the game had ended in a tie. India had scored 338 all out and England had finished on 338 for eight.

Recalling his ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham’ shoot days, Hrithik said: “During ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham’, Shahrukh and I were in a car. We were hearing the commentary of a match, and co-incidence was, it was also an India-England match. That match India had won, and today also India will win.”
