Sachin Tendulkar Encourage Poor Girl to Play Cricket
Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar posted a video of a young girl smashing the ball all over the ground. Watch full video for all the details.
Videos that go viral on social media can often transform the lives of ordinary people. The video shows the teenager hitting powerful shots exactly on the day when the Women's Premier League auction was held.
The girl’s name is 14-year-old Mumal Mehar and she is the daughter of a poor farmer in Kanasar village of Barmer in Rajasthan. The village girl has an Instagram account where the video of her hitting fours and sixes leaves users stunned. The video is now being extensively shared on social media and liked by hundreds of users. Legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar tweeted on Tuesday about the viral video. In his tweet, while sharing the video of Kanasar's student, Tendulkar wrote that "the auction happened only yesterday and today the match has also started? really enjoy your batting."
In addition to Tendulkar BCCI Secretary Jay Shah too tweeted the video, “Amazed by the young girl’s cricket skills & passion for the game! I’m glad to see that the future of Women’s Cricket is in good hands. Let us work together to empower our young athletes so that they can become future game changers,” he wrote. Expressing her wish, Mumal had shared a post on social media, in which she wrote that she wanted a cricket kit. When her appeal was spotted by the BJP State President Satish Poonia, he quickly sent a kit for Moomal. Poonia even took to Twitter and said that after watching Mumal's video, he had sent a cricket kit and also talked to her.
One gathers that Roshan Khan, Mumal's school teacher, is also her coach. He makes her practice cricket every day. Seeing her talent and devotion to cricket, he has been giving the girl regular coaching lessons in the village where she often plays cricket with boys. She has shown her talent in cricket even in the Rural Olympic Games organised in Rajasthan a few months ago by the state government. Clearly, despite the "negativity" that social media is often blamed for fuelling, it also helps people in multiple ways. Moomal Mehar will agree. The league will start on March 4 at the DY Patil Stadium with a clash between Gujarat Giants and Mumbai Indians.
