Following that announcement, Rahul got admitted to Sehwag International School. He started his studies staying in the school's boarding. Cricket began there. And now he got an opportunity on the big stage.
Writing about Rahul on his X handle, Sehwag said, "Congratulations to Rahul Soreng on being selected in the under-19 Haryana team. Since his brave father attained martyrdom in Pulwama, it has been my privilege to support Rahul and i am extremely proud of his journey."
