“I am 103 years old, but I am not old. I am a senior youth. I like cricket, I watch cricket,” he said further explaining he is though scared of playing cricket but loves to watch it. Further talking about Dhoni, Ramdas shared that he wants to watch a CSK match in Chepauk and meet Dhoni. “Whenever, he has time, and whenever he calls, take me,” he says.
In the video, Ramdas, who will turn 104 this year, also spoke about the fast-paced nature of T20 cricket, adding that it gets over very quickly and doesn’t drag on. An enthusiastic fan of the IPL team, Ramdas, who was a part of the British Army, still seems to hold high spirits, as he loves to don the yellow jersey and catch a game of the IPL on television.
