In my previous life, I was a professional cricketer who represented multiple higher levels in my state, Tamil Nadu. One of the greatest highlights of my cricketing career was representing Indian Overseas Bank in the TNCA 2nd division circuit which is highly prestigious given that I had the chance to play alongside various Ranji Trophy cricketers. I have also been a constant figure in the junior cricket (U16 and U19) levels in my state. 

Over the years, I had beautiful opportunities to serve as a net bowler for TN Ranji team (2019) and New Zealand A team when they toured India (Chennai specifically in the year 2023). The reason I started playing cricket was the BlackCaps and my love for them would probably never fade away, I still remember scenes from the 2011 CWC which made me feel head over heels for them. Being a left arm spinner, there were multiple occassions where I used to imitate Daniel Vettori's bowling action. Some of the most influential cricketing figures for me include Daniel Vettori, Brendon McCullum, Kane Williamson and Ravi Ashwin.     

Sadly, life allows one to take only a particular path as time flows and hence I had to pause my professional cricket career in the year 2023. What is to happen is something that only life can decide, I bet Netravalkar would have stated the same.
