Talking about Yuzi’s love for cricket and the importance of balance in life, Verma, in June, had said on a Rajasthan Royals podcast: “Yuzi is a very happy person, to be very honest, and he loves cricket. His first love is cricket, so being in this environment around his fellow mates is the primary reason behind him smiling always and having a beautiful smile.”

“I believe you need to strike a balance. The environment, of course, is very warm and friendly, but it gets stressful. So, you have to keep up with it. So, because of that, Yuzi is Yuzi all the time,” she added.
