Passion for Sports – Badminton & Cricket

I actively pursue badminton and cricket as part of my regular routine. I play badminton regularly and have won several tournaments, including a recent inter-apartment society championship. I enjoy both the competitive and fitness aspects of the game and also love watching professional matches to stay inspired.

In cricket, I consider myself a well-rounded all-rounder. While I haven't been playing as frequently lately, I’ve been actively involved in local matches in the past, contributing both with the bat and ball.

These sports have helped me build qualities like discipline, teamwork, focus, and quick decision-making—skills that I find valuable both on the field and in the workplace.
