I have a keen interest in sports. I like cricket, football, hockey, badminton, and kabaddi the most. I am a fan of CSK in IPL. My favorite players are Virat Kohli and MS dhoni. My passion for the game stems from his childhood dream of becoming a cricketer. However, that path did not come forth, so I chose an alternate career in cricket, incorporating my love for journalism.
