Rohit Sharma’s childhood coach reveals untold ‘Mercedes’ story

India captain Rohit Sharma is among the prominent sportspersonalities in India. Besides leading the cricket team, Rohit also plays a huge role for the side as a batter. Like majority of the Indian cricketers, Rohit too hails from a humble background. His family had to borrow money to send him to a cricket camp in Borivali.

Everthing started with a dream of playing for India and now Rohit is among the best batters in the world. Be it his game, fame or money, Rohit has grown by leaps and bounds in all terms. Going down the memory lane, Rohit's childhood coach Dinesh Lad, in a recent interview, revealed that the player once dreamt of buying a Mercedes.

"Once Rohit and I saw a Mercedes car, he said, 'Sir, I will buy this car one day.' It was the time when Rohit was selected for Mumbai's Under-19 team. Was that possible? He had not played at any big level back then and said that he wants to buy a Mercedes. But he confidently said, 'You see, I will buy it'," said Lad while speaking to SRG Sports.
