NTR_Sachin Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 India opener Rohit Sharma showed his compassionate side and the camaraderie between India and Sri Lanka when he helped a travelling Lankan fan return home early to attend his ailing father. Three Lankan fans, Gayan Senananyaka, Pubudu and Mohamed Nilam, have been travelling with the visitors throughout the Indian tour and were scheduled to depart only after the T20I series. However, Nilam’s father was diagnosed with throat cancer during the third Test in Delhi and he needed to return home for his father’s surgery but didn’t had the required funds to book a fresh ticket, according to a report in mid-day. Rohit and India skipper Virat Kohli were informed of Nilam’s predicament by Sudhir Gautam, the famous “Sachin Tendulkar” fan and Rohit arranged for Nilam’s return air ticket to Colombo from New Delhi. “Rohit called me to the team hotel and gave me the [R20,000 approx] ticket. The surgery went well. I was disturbed when I heard about my father’s health, Rohit has a big heart and he immediately arranged for my return ticket. He is a gem of a person,” Nilam told mid-day. The Mumbai batsman, who is leading the Indian team in the limited overs series against Sri Lanka, even offered Nilam financial help for the surgery, but the Lankan refused to take the money, thanking him for the ticket. - Great things happen to such big hearted people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
