Out-of-favour India batsman Suresh Raina has heaped praise on India sprinter Hima Das by calling her a “role model” for all the girls.
Hima and Raina talked to each other on Instagram live on Sunday and the southpaw lauded her after their chat.
“Thank you @ImRaina bhaiya for a wonderful motivational live session on Instagram today. It was a great learning experience while interacting with you. Alongwith your batting and fielding now I am a big fan of your singing too (sic),” wrote Hima on Twitter after her live session with Raina.
“It was a very insightful session @HimaDas8. Not just me, many more people who joined us today must have gotten inspired by you. You are a role model for all the girls who want to do something extraordinary & achieve their goals. Keep it up & lots of success for everything ahead,” said Raina in reply to her tweet.
