The 36-year-old India batter has come a long way since he started playing the sport in the maidans of Bombay. He has also seen his share of struggles while growing up as parents battled financial hardships. Rohit told the English daily Indian Express that he was very young when he left his parents house in Dombivi to live with his grandparents in Borivali.

He narrated a story of how tiny his house was which accommodated as many as eight people. Rohit also said that when sleeping even in that tiny house, he would need some touch, maybe of a person or of the room's wall. “I would curl up. I had a thing, I had to touch someone or something with my leg. I would sleep towards the wall, my leg touching it. Else, I can’t sleep,” said Rohit.

That’s how I stayed in Borivali while my parents and brother stayed in Dombivli (50 kms away). In some 100-odd square feet house, we used to stay, eight of us."
