What else can be a better gift than this for para cricketer Amir Hussain Lone as he was gifted a signed bat by legendary batsman Sachin Tendulkar during his trip to Jammu and Kashmir.
Sharing his excitement regarding the same, Tendulkar took to X and wrote: “To Amir, the real hero. Keep inspiring! It was a pleasure meeting you.”
Amir has a unique playing style; he bowls using his legs and bats using his shoulder and neck. Lone has been playing professional cricket since 2013. He was introduced to para cricket after a teacher discovered his talent.
Amir had unfortunately lost both his arms in an accident in his father’s mill when he was just eight years old.
Sachin had shared his wish of meeting with Amir after his video went viral last month.
Talking about his wish, Sachin on X said, “Amir has made the impossible possible. I am so touched watching this! Shows how much love and dedication he has for the game. Hope I get to meet him one day and get a jersey with his name. Well done for inspiring millions who are passionate about playing the sport.”
