Manan Vohra

A bond that is deeper than cricket, Rajasthan Royals' stylish batsman Manan Vohra and young sensation Mayank Markande aren't just teammates on the field, but they also happen to be really close friends off it.

Speaking from their hotel, Manan started the conversation by calling Mayank "a very lazy character". He elaborated, "I have to always push him to go the extra mile in terms of everything, even if it's training. He's the kind of character who likes to go easy on things, but I'm always the one telling him to go that extra mile because I know he's got immense talent and if he improves his work ethics, he will be a definite player for the Indian team for a long time."
