9. Rohit Sharma:
Indian opener Rohit Sharma is an avid Real Madrid supporter, and expresses his love for the Whites quite frequently on social media. When asked in an interview for DNA on how he manages to catch up on the games during his busy schedule, he said, “Yes, I am a huge fan of Real Madrid and follow the English Premier League. Real Madrid are by far my favourite because they play aggressive and smart football. Its tough to catch up on all the games but I do try and follow as much as I can.”
“Once I’m done with my gym, training and daily routine, I unwind with some football. It’s the best way to relax given our hectic schedule. And I play Fantasy League with my friends, so, that rivalry makes the games even more interesting,” he adds.
He rates Zinedine Zidane as his favourite player, but regrets not owning any of their jerseys. “(Zinedine) Zidane and David Beckham are my favourites and are at the top of my list but (Fernando) Torres is a close third, I enjoy watching him play. Unfortunately, I don’t own any of their personal jerseys but team jerseys, of course!”
