John Abraham turns cricket buff



January 15th, 2009

After Harman Baweja mingled with cricketers for ‘Victory’ it’s the turn of John Abraham to get involved with cricket in a big way.

He is busy preparing for his role in an upcoming film.

John has been quite comfy playing football but now he’s all set to hone his cricketing skills for David Dhawan’s film ‘Hook Ya Crook’. The movie is not exactly a sports film like Harman’s ‘Victory’ but a thriller with a sprinkling of comedy and cricket.

John is working very hard as he has to share screen space with the likes of Mahendra Singh Dhoni and other well known international cricketers in the film. He wants to look perfect too while playing the game with these masters.

Dinesh Lad, Indian batsman Rohit Sharma’s coach is teaching him the fine points of cricket from. Johhny Boy has learnt batting techniques and has already grasped many of them.

Though it takes years to master the techniques, John wants to learn them enough to look convincing playing the game with professional cricketers.

Well, John sure is strong willed enough to achieve that. Remember the kind of physique he made for K Jo’s ‘Dostana’?
