The association allows me to grow the popularity of the game, especially amongst youngsters. Cricket has the power to bring joy, enrich lives and teach youngsters the right life lessons.

Through my association with Star Sports, I would like to inspire young Indians to believe that no matter where you come from, you can achieve your dreams through hard work. Just Believe!”

Our aim is to build a diverse group of ‘Believe ambassadors’ who can inspire the next generation of cricket fans and players across the country.”
