Brilliant actress Taapsee Pannu is awaiting the release of her biographical drama 'Shabas Mithu' in which she'll be seen playing the role of Indian cricket team captain Mithali Raj. Since Taapsee had absolutely zero cricketing experience prior to filming, she had to undergo training to be able to portray the part accurately.

In a recent media interaction, Taapsee shared that despite not having any playing experience, she has always enjoyed the game and never tried to be an armchair expert. Talking about how much she respects sportspersons, Taapsee told ETimes, “I have always had huge respect for the game and the players. For me sports stars are bigger than any other stars. I have always been in awe of them."

The actress added, "I have never in my life said things like, “isko toh aisa khelna chahiye tha, aise kaise out ho gaya?” For all those offering expert opinions from their couch, just stand on the pitch once. When the ball comes your way at that speed, you get the real picture. AC mein bethke, aise kyun nahi kiya, waise kyu nahi kiya yeh bolna aasan hai. Everyone thinks they are Sachin Tendulkar from the comfort of their homes."
