The platform’s studio show recently delighted Indian viewers as host Semra Hunter touched upon Manchester United and England great Rooney’s interests regarding India’s favourite sport, cricket.
“I’ve heard a bit of a rumour that potentially, you’re going to be putting on some cricket gear. Is that true at all?", asked Hunter to the all-time leading goalscorer of the Manchester-based club.
“One of my sons does a bit of cricket. I’ve messed around, obviously, I haven’t played in a competitive game", said the 37-year-old English icon.
“I’ve played with the children quite a bit", explained Rooney, citing his involvement in the game on a domestic and casual basis.
Rooney further went on to talk about the magnitude of the game in India stating, “Cricket is obviously the biggest sport in India and it is a huge sport back in England as well."
“Now, working with JioCinema, I’ll be watching some cricket on the application and enjoy it. Hopefully will see England, and now India do well."
