India’s ODI captain Rohit Sharma recounted a little-known and surprising anecdote involving Test specialist Cheteshwar Pujara on Friday during the launch of The Diary of a Cricketer’s Wife, authored by Pujara’s wife, Puja.
Interrupting the event with a grin, Rohit turned to Pujara and teased, “I'm sure it's not written in the book. Is there anything regarding that West Indies tour of India A 2012. What happened?”
Pujara, initially hesitant, eventually opened up about the incident that had remained largely under wraps. “I haven't told. I mean, she is aware but she doesn't know the details. I am a vegetarian. So we were looking for a vegetarian meal at night. It was in TNT (Trinidad and Tobago) where we went out at 11 in the evening. We didn't find the meal but when we were walking back, I was mugged. I can't tell you in detail about it but that's the story he is referring to,” he revealed.
