Activity

It was such a wonderful time to play cricket. I started playing cricket when I was 10 years old. Every day I went for practice and played cricket. It was so much enjoyment and fun, and it was not just cricket practice, we started with warm up exercise before starting the cricket practice. The warm up is really great and it keeps you active and strong for lifelong if you keep doing it.

We were playing a Parle-G cup tournament, my partner and I were playing the opening batsmen and we both made the full score and finished the match and never went out. It was so exciting.

I usually go as a second round player and left handed batsman and off-spinner bowler, and remember my coach had a lot of interest in my skills, because I was the only left handed batsman in the team. The most interesting part was when I was around players and chit-chatted with each other and planned how to win the game!

We were playing league matches and went to different states to play games. As India is large geographically, we usually went by train and booked almost half of the lobby. During the journey our team members sang songs and played the guitar. I realized that food, weather and lifestyle were quite different from my own city. But it was a good experience though.
