Varun Sharma on hosting the UAE leg of IPL 2021

Actor Varun Sharma who debuted his career with the film "Fukrey" has been on a challenging experience. He has been hosting the UAE leg of IPL 2021 . It's the first time that the actor has gone behind the microphone and hosted a cricket match.

In a Conversation with Varun, he shared his experience of being on the other side of the camera. He said "It is both challenging and interesting because it is something new that I am trying out for the first time," the "Roohi" actor said. "But, I'm having a lot of fun. To be a part of cricket is every child's dream in our country."

Varun said: "I feel happy and blessed that I'm getting a chance to be a part of the biggest cricket league in the country. It's super fun and I'm having a great time."

He said that he had to prepare a lot for it because it is live commentary and you are on air talking all the time for a certain number of hours. He had to attend a lot of workshops and training sessions.

The actor has always been a cricket fan . He said that "I think millions of us in India and across the world are also cricket fans. I'm also that kind of boy who loves watching cricket, who's grown up watching cricket and playing gully cricket," he said, obviously relishing every bit of the new experience.

Varun has always been the biggest fan of former West Indies batsman Brian Lara. He posted a picture on his instagram.He wrote, "For someone who's always been a fan of cricket, this moment has to be one of fav’s of 2021 @brianlaraofficial."P.S.
