Rahul Sharma shares an emotional message after his father’s demise
Indian cricketer Rahul Sharma’s father passed away after his battle with COVID-19. Rahul was deemed as one of the most talented leg-spinners in the country, but his career took a turn for the worst. Back in 2012, he was tested positive for drugs in a rave party. The Mumbai police confirmed that Rahul and South African cricketer Wayne Parnell were arrested.
Back then, Sourav Ganguly, the former Indian cricketer, backed Sharma and stood behind the latter, saying that he committed the “mistake unknowingly” and shouldn’t lose his place in Team India. 2012 was the year when he last donned the national jersey. In May 2014, he last played a competitive game for the Delhi Daredevils, now Capitals, in the IPL.
Sharma had registered in the IPL 2021 auction at a base price of INR 50 lakhs, but he didn’t find a buyer. In the meantime, amidst the tough times in his cricket career, Sharma was devastated after his father left mother earth. He also pledged to make a comeback to cricket.
