The 54-year-old was thrilled to have seen Rohan at his best, at such a young age. To say Narain was pleased as punch would be an understatement. “To get one wicket is a great achievement for someone so young, but wicket after wicket, I was so proud,” Narain said.<\/p>\n
“Just him playing at the local cricket team was a great achievement. I don’t think I realised how rare an achievement it was,” he added. Vishal Gupta is one of the coaches at Rohan\u2019s Great Shelford Cricket Club, and he officiated at the game in the capacity of an umpire. His admiration for Rohan and his feat knew no bounds. “I took my umpire hat off and threw him up in the air with his team. Everyone was clapping about it. I don’t think I will ever see it again. It was amazing,” he said.<\/p>\n
Even the opponents were happy!<\/p>\n
Head coach Lucas Green said everyone was so happy for Rohan that when he took the sixth wicket off the last ball of his over, the supporters of both sides couldn\u2019t stop themselves from running onto the pitch. “When the wickets fell, off the sixth ball everyone ran onto the pitch. The other team was so happy for him… and he and his team-mates enjoyed the moment,” Green said.<\/p>\n
Back in the day, fans from the stands did run towards the players to celebrate after the match was over. It was some sight. However, it doesn\u2019t happen nowadays because of security reasons. It\u2019s not that frequent in school or club cricket either but then Rohan had done something that really warranted this kind of celebration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Now and then, from the world of cricket comes extraordinary news of extraordinary feats. 9-year-old Rohan has done…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":759402,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564],"tags":[64,63,740,77078,362887,362886,362885,85],"class_list":["post-759401","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-cricket","tag-fathers-day","tag-great-shelford-cricket-club","tag-rohan","tag-six-wickets","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/759401","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=759401"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/759401\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/759402"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=759401"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=759401"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=759401"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
