What are some lesser known facts about Indian cricketers?

 

  1. Rohit Sharma can fluently converse in four languages- English, Hindi, Marathi and Telugu. His maternal place is Vishakapatnam, Andhra Pradesh.
  2. Shikhar Dhawan is a massive tattoo freak. Dhawan first got himself inked at the age of 15 (without telling his parents ofcourse!) and and has been inked four times. He’s got ‘Carpe Diem’ on his left arm, a tribal sign on his right arm and on his back is a design which even the man himself can’t describe!
  3. Gautam Gambhir is running a Foundation which silently helps widows of army men, underprivileged children and environmental and social issues.
  4. Virender Sehwag was banned on his debut test match against South Africa in 2001 for over appealing by umpire Mike Denness. Sehwag scored a century on his debut, but was unfortunately banned on debut and couldn’t play the next match.

Edit: Many people are criticizing my answer because of 1st point i.e, Rohit Sharma can fluently converse in four languages .According to you this is not a great thing in India, I Agree, But My friends , earlier I also thought that he can speak only hindi,english and marathi,but later i came to know that he can speak Telugu also. So I added this point.
