“Honestly I was freaking out when the director, Karan Anshuman, asked me to play this technically sound character, who knows so much about cricket. I play the character of Rohini, who is the team analyst, she is the brain behind the team. It’s very rare in our country, but abroad, the trend of having a female cricket analyst is normal. So, I actually had to figure out the technicalities behind the game,” says Sayani.
