“Sport is my first love!

“It taught me to work hard, play by the rules & be focused on my goal; it has taught me to be a humble winner and most importantly, to chin up and fight every time I face disappointment.

“Who knew that holding a racket, shuttle or a Cricket bat would prepare me for the game of life!”
