Team India is currently locking horns with Bangladesh for the 1st Test of the two-match series at Holkar Stadium in Indore. The fans have already shown their excitement by buying the majority of the tickets, but there was one fan named Shoaib Ali Bukhari from Bangladesh, who was overwhelmed by a heartwarming gesture of the Indian opener Rohit Sharma.
During all practice sessions, the security was very tight looking forward to the craze in fans and the volume of enthusiasts that appear in the home matches. So, it made very difficult for Bukhari to watch his team and cheer for them.
Meanwhile, Rohit when he came to know about it, the Indian opener met Bukhari and did all the arrangements for his access. Shoaib Ali Bukhari said that he got a gallery near to Rohit that helped him to get easy access to the stadium. He also gave a briefing over his chat with the Indian opener.

Later on, a person sent him upstairs, the other Indian fan Sudheer helped him to reach that area, where he got his access card after verifying his documents and Rohit was the reason behind something like that being possible.
Talking to bdcrictime, Bukhari said, “He asked me why I didn’t meet with him. I told him about the tight security here in India. I also told him that I tried but failed due to that tight security. Then he asked about my situation and where I am staying here. After that, a person sent me to the upstairs. Sudhir took me to the place. Their cards were made. They took my picture and passport photocopy and told me to come at 4 PM. And when I went at 4 PM, I found my card done.”
