Sketchers from US

Thursday, 13 June 2019 | Agencies

Chirag and gang are here all the way from the US. The motely group of youngsters, otherwise data analysts and what not of the cyber world, are here on a one-match holiday mostly from New Jersey. What makes them stand out is the artist among them – Chirag from New York – who has made picture perfect, more real than original, sketches of Team India biggies. These include one each of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, Shikhar Dhawan, Ravindra Jadeja and two of MS Dhoni. “I am a total Dhoni fan,” he says unabashedly, holding the photo frame close to his heart. Braving the Nottingham weather, the group stood at the Trent Bridge stadium gates for over three hours to get an acknowledgment of their art from the players. Chirag said each portrait took 13 to 14 hours to sketch as accuracy was his main stress point. Coming out to hop into the team bus after a practice session, Hardik Pandya obliged the group, which has two girls in Ragini and Hiral among them, with autographs even though the others went straight past them into the bus.
