"Dreams Will Be Fulfilled": Para-Cricketer Thanks Adani Foundation For Rs 70 Lakh Donation To Set Up Cricket Academy
Amir Hussain Lone, a differently-abled cricketer, who is an inspiration to many, has expressed his gratitude to Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani for opening doors to "endless opportunities" for underprivileged cricketers in Jammu and Kashmir. The para-cricketer is overjoyed that his dream of opening a cricket academy for children is finally coming true. He lost both his arms when he was eight years old in a mishap at his father's mill, but he never let his disability hinder his love for cricket. He has a unique playing style - he uses his legs to bowl and shoulder and neck to bat. Seeing his passion for bowling and batting, his teacher introduced him to para cricket. The 34-year-old has been playing professional cricket since 2013.
