In the caption of the post, Viral Bhayani shared that Sushant Singh Rajput’s sister is a professional cricketer. She had also made it to the women’s national team. Sushant himself was not very good at the sport no matter how much he tried. He was also not selected for the school’s cricket team. He used to practice for four hours and started at 6 in the morning.

Sushant Singh Rajput had described Kiran More, his trainer, as a ‘tough taskmaster’. He also claimed that he used to treat him like a professional cricketer rather than an actor. He also shared how MS Dhoni’s batting style was scientifically analysed, learnt and practised. A professional analyst was also a part of the project. Sushant’s training sessions were recorded and they used to later compare it with the real game of cricket.
