India's captain and opener Rohit Sharma, on one hand, made a world record in the Mohali ODI against Sri Lanka after sroing third double century, on the other hand he provided financial support to Sri Lankan fan on the basis of humanity. Rohit Sharma provided financial support for a Sri Lankan fan Mohamed Nilam to send him to Sri Lanka. When Nilam got the news of his father's cancer, he suddenly went to his house but he could only go to India on December 26 after the T20 series
Nilam, who is known as Sri Lankan fans, is in India from the beginning of the Test Series to see all Sri Lanka matches. During the last test of the Test Series, when Nilam received news of his father's surgery, he would have to leave immediately from New Delhi but due to financial constraints, he could not go. Sudhir Kumar, the greatest fan of the Indian cricket team and Sachin, has informed Rohit Sharma about this news.
“I’m very thankful to Rohit Sharma for his help. He is a very nice man and has a good heart. I was very happy when he scored 208 in the second match,” Nilam told indianexpress.com from Sri Lanka.
On a personal website in Colombo, Nilam said that when Sudhir told Rohit Sharma about my financial hardship, Rohit called me in the team hotel and gave me a ticket (about Rs 20 thousand) and immediately told me to go to Sri Lanka. Neelam said that at the same time Rohit tried to pay me for the cost of surgery but I refused to take that money. Now my father is all right. His surgery has been good. I was sad when I had heard this news but Rohit Sharma presented an example of being a good person by paying my return ticket. He is a great man.
“Virat also messaged me and asked about my father’s health. He said ‘if you need any help, tell me’,” said Nilam.
