Sushant Singh Rajput's death has not just left Bollywood in shock. Former India wicket-keeper Kiran More, who met Sushant Sinha a lot during the shoot of movie 'MS Dhoni - The Untold Story' recalled how the actor perfected Dhoni's wicket-keeping techniques.
"It's a big loss to me personally. I became his good friend while working on his cricket for nine months in 2016," Kiran More told mid-day.com.
"Even if we ask Anil Kumble or Sachin Tendulkar to 'keep, they won't be able to, so for Sushant, an actor, it was a big challenge. But he did it despite getting hurt by balls on his hands, shoulder, chest and face almost daily," More added.
"He used to hit around 300 balls daily. He knew exactly what he wanted to do and was ready to work hard to achieve it. It's all over, now. We'll miss him a lot."
