Actor Vijay Deverakonda’s much-talked-about romantic drama, Kushi, is gearing up for release on September 1. The actor will promote the movie on Star Sports channel during the India vs Pakistan Asia Cup match, which is scheduled on September 2. In an exclusive conversation with Star Sports, Vijay revealed his love for cricket and also recounted the memories and experiences of India’s glorious cricket moments that left an indelible mark.
Talking about his favorite players, Vijay said, “these days, watching Virat play is pure fun. After him, Rohit Sharma. He plays effortless cricket. Surya Kumar Yadav, on his day, it is difficult to stop him, and Hardik Pandya – The sound when he plays the shot is amazing. These days I am also looking forward to bowlers like Bumrah, Siraj, and Arshdeep. I am happy that Tilak got a place in the squad.”
Vijay then took a trip down the memory lane and reminisced about the thrill of witnessing the intense India vs Pakistan rivalry live at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. “I enjoyed watching cricket at the venue, and India have never lost a match in all of the matches I have watched from the venue. But these days I have started missing the replays and commentary, so I am enjoying the matches from the television,” he added.
Talking about the epic India vs Pakistan battle, Vijay said, “I enjoy the tension between two teams in a match, I like the conflicts and heated moments, and these days I miss them. I am looking forward to watching some exciting matches this Asia Cup.”
