Pawan The Cricketer

Once there lived a little, strong, playful and tall 10- year- old boy named Pawan. He was very kind, soft hearted and caring for others.
He had brownish eyes, was a very fast runner, a good thrower and catcher. He held a very great sportsmanship within him.

Pawan used to live in the city of Chandigarh, India. Chandigarh is well – developed when it comes to infrastructure and is low populated
which gives it many advantages like less traffic etc. He lived in a fourteen -story building. He lives in a building because without any
friends at home, he gets extremely bored. Downstairs there are many trees growing making the air fresh. From the ground floor, the
building looks tall.

His main dedication was to become a cricket player. After all, he possesses the qualities of a noble cricket player. He also likes playing cricket with his friends, so he already played very good without any practice.

After this, he took permission from his father to go to a cricket club to practice for one and a half hour every day, to surpass his limits and become a cricket player by profession. His father said that “Since you have a lot of free time, you can go to the club”. Later, he found a suitable club for him, where Pawan could practice for one and a half hour. He told Pawan that “Son, you will be able to start practicing tomorrow”. He also said that “Son, since you have finished studying, you can go downstairs to play cricket”. Pawan was as happy as a child and rushed downstairs in a flash. The next day, he got excited and left his home for his cricket training right on time without being a
minute late. He played impressive at his training. He kept on hitting sixes. The coach asked him” How did you play so well when it is your first time playing”? Pawan replied that” It’s just that I love to play cricket”. That day he learnt a lot of new techniques.

The coach could really see the potential in Pawan. Pawan didn’t waste a single minute at training. After reaching home, he completed his homework and went downstairs to play cricket again for another few hours.

This continued for a few days. He was playing cricket for at least four hours a day. One day, while Pawan was running to catch the ball, he slipped on a rough surface and hurt his knee badly. He could barely walk. He slowly and steadily walked back home. His father saw that how badly he got hurt and tied a bandage on his knee. He could not play cricket for a week. After his knee had recovered, he started playing again this is the determination of a sportsman.

Eight years later, he joined the national cricket team of India. He was one of the top players and inspired many people. He still used to practice for four hours a day.
