"I thoroughly enjoy every aspect of cricket be it watching or playing. I have always had an affinity towards cricket. In school, I used to be a middle-order batsman and have even played as a leg spinner at district level. Then when I started my career, I got the opportunity to host the Extra Innings T20 for one of the seasons of IPL and I thoroughly enjoyed doing that. Even now, whenever I get an opportunity to play cricket on-set, I prod everyone to participate. I can get really competitive when I am on the pitch," Ayushmann shared.

Meanwhile, on the film front, Ayushmann is all set to come up with 'Doctor G', in which he will be seen a male gynaecologist. Rakul Preet Singh and Shefali Shah are also a part of the film, which is directed by Anubhuti Kashyap. The film is scheduled to release on October 14.
