Aditya Birla Group - Woo Me Competition!

Cricket has and will always be very close to my heart. When I grow, there was the only sport that I saw everyone playing and instantly fell in love with it. Since then the love and passion for it, be it playing or just watching it on television has never changed. In fact, it gets better and better. While growing up, I always wanted to be a cricketer but never knew how to go about pursuing it. It was a time when cricket was not seriously followed in the nearby vicinity. But then, I found out a cricket coach and took to professional learning. It couldn't go on for long as I was faced with the educational constraints that I had to focus on too. A few other decisions on the way made me stay away from professional cricket for too long. Though with all this going on, cricket always remained the same in my heart. There was always one thing on my mind that for one last time, I had to give it a go. At the age of 23, I got back to the fold of professional cricket. People said at this age, going for coaching with kids of 10 -15 years won't work, but I was doing that for myself. The only one I had to prove to was me. It is me who will happy or sad at the end of the day, but I would at least have the feeling that I tried. Once the coaching started, it was tough to get into the fitness level and skill level required to play at least a T20 match. But then it gradually improved and I started playing T20 cricket. Though today I might not be someone who has reached great heights in cricket, I am happy and content to have lived the game in the way I wanted to. I still make out time to play cricket at any level and it still feels the same every time while entering the cricket field.
