"I`ve seen him since our under-15 days; we kind of grew up playing for Mumbai together. He was always special, scoring double hundreds and stuff in under-15 and under-17 matches", says USA`s pacer Saurabh Netravalkar

Speaking exclusively to Star Sports, USA All-Rounder Harmeet Singh talked about how he looked up to Rohit Sharma and how excited he is to catch up and play against his former India under-19 team mates. He said, "Growing up, I used to look up to Rohit Sharma. Rohit comes from my school, and he had just graduated when I entered. I made my first-class debut with him, and he played in the under-19 World Cup a few tournaments before me. It was really exciting to see someone from the suburbs of Mumbai going out there and conquering the world. In Bombay, it was all about the beyond Bandra schools and cricketers, but Rohit started that in the suburbs, and from there we all followed. Some other guys I have played under-19 India with are Sanju, Kuldeep, and Axar. It`ll be fun catching up and playing against them as well."
