Nathwani and Cricket

The game of cricket is not new for Nathwani. Very few people know that Nathwani was one of the best batsman of his college team. He was instrumental in several victories of his college cricket team in various tournaments. However later in one of the matches, when a wooden ball hit his one of the eyes, Nathwani had to leave his favorite game permanently. The cricket ball injury in his eye was so serious that it was operated. The doctor clearly instructed Parimalbhai not to play cricket again. Parimalbhai who had earlier planned to become next Sunil Gavaskar of Indian cricket team finally decided to leave the game. Along with the doctor, this decision was also prompted by his father Dhirajlal and both the sisters.

After many years, Parimalbhai is back to the game of cricket again, however in different role. Good luck for the best.
