I have been a fan of Cricket ever since I watched the 2002 NatWest Series Final on television. The memories of Dada's celebration, Zaheer's winning run, and Kaif's extraordinary inning are still vivid. I played the sport growing up, and I still do occasionally. I also enjoy it on the web or television. My passion for the game inspired me to start writing about it and I have been doing it since 2019. I hope readers will use my articles as a platform to discuss this beautiful sport we call "Cricket".
