Why don’t you sit and write it and get a degree ?” I said “Mom, what do you want me to do ? Like ? I’m playing cricket, doing well for myself, you want me to go write 30 papers ?” and She said “Yeah, why not ??”

They were the happiest. I played four years for India already But that didn’t make them happy. After getting an RBI job, they were like “Now, you will stable”. I will get a good salary. They look after the sport people really well” Rahul said in the interview.
