116:WATCH Amitabh Bachchan fulfils KBC contestant's dream, arranges video call with latter's idol Rohit Sharma
Rohit Sharma has had an incredible journey as a cricketer. While he is currently one of the finest batters in world cricket at the moment, he has had his share of struggles and yet managed to overcome all of them to become the player that he is. That makes his journey relatable to millions of fans in India and even across the world as people continue to battle their own personal struggles in their respective lives.
Another such fan is Pranshu Tripathi who will be seen in the Amitabh Bachchan-hosted quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati. In a promo of the video, Pranshu can be seen carrying the picture of his idol Rohit in his wallet. When asked to choose between his girlfriend and the Hitman, the contestant had a tough time and termed it more difficult than an INR 7 crore question on the show.
In an emotional moment, Big B even arranged a video call for the contest to speak with Rohit Sharma. Upon seeing his idol talk to him, Pranshu was hesitant to respond and even said that he does not know how to speak to his God. The promo shared by the Sony Television network has gone viral on social media.
"#KBC13 mein aaye ek contestant Pranshu ki AB sir ne poori ki iccha aur milaya unhe Rohit Sharma se! Dekhiye yeh khaas pal #KaunBanegaCrorepati mein, kal raat 9 baje, sirf Sony par. #SawaalJoBhiHoJawaabAapHiHo @amitabhbachchan @rohitsharma45," the video was captioned.

Talking about Rohit, he is currently part of the Mumbai Indians camp in UAE and is hoping to lead his side to a hat-trick of titles. The 34-year-old was India's highest run-getter in the four Test matches against England and even scored a hundred in the fourth Test match.
After Virat Kohli announced his decision to step down as the T20I captain post the conclusion of the World Cup, Rohit is likely to be named the captain of the shortest format. He has already led his franchise to five IPL titles and has a great record with the national team in the limited opportunities he has got as a leader.
