Dhanawade’s father, Prashant is an autorickshaw driver by profession and as more and more people started christening him as the next Sachin Tendulkar, his father couldn’t control his happiness.
He stated that being a cricketer was an unfulfilled dream. “I want my son to become a great cricketer and he has proved today that he has talent. Cricket is neither an easy sport nor a cheap one. I thereby spend extra hours driving my rickshaw so that I am able to afford cricket gear for my son,”
Well, it’s only the start of Pranav making India proud with his cricketing talent, we hope!
