Welham Girls' School

It will always be treasured memory to have met an Indian batsman who has scored 10,000 runs in the ODIs; someone whose professional journey has been nothing less than a fantasy. Since I first began watching ‘Dada’ play on the field as a child, meeting him has always been my dream. Finally, the dream materialised one evening in Kolkata when I had the opportunity to meet Mr. Sourav Ganguly, popularly known ‘Maharaja of Indian Cricket', in person. As we reached his house, I felt overwhelmed as a childhood fantasy was turning into reality. I was deeply moved by his welcoming nature and warmth. I learned a lot about his life experiences and his journey as a sportsman during our nearly hour-long conversation. As someone who has been playing badminton since I was in third grade, our conversation left me deeply motivated. I learned how to be a little stronger the next time I play badminton and try to defeat every opponent.
