Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan has said he is inspired by discarded fast-bowler S Sreesanth.
The actor, who is currently busy promoting his recently-released movie ‘Kaabil’, met Sreesanth and the former India bowler took to Twitter to let everyone know about the meeting.
Sreesanth tweeted:” @iHrithik With the man himself…thanks a lot.one of the best human beings around..may God shower u with all the success ✌?

Meanwhile, the bowler is currently trying his best to make a comeback to the game. The 33-year old had received a life ban by BCCI’s disciplinary committee in September 2013 after being involved in match-fixing. In 2015, Sreesanth was cleared of spot-fixing charges by a Delhi trial court due to insufficient evidence under the MCOCA act, a special law passed by the Maharashtra state government to tackle organised crime syndicates and terrorism. However, the bowler is still struggling to get the nod from the BCCI to resume playing cricket.
He played 27 Tests, 53 One-Day Internationals and 10 T20 Internationals before being banned.
