  'What do you know about the boy?' Dad asked. 'He plays cricket for India,' my uncle replied, as if this mere fact was a clincher.  
  The announcement did not make any noticeable impression on my father and Geeta Didi, because, like me, they did not follow cricket. 
  'I've seen him play,' announced my mother, astounding us all. 'You have?' I asked, dumbfounded. 
  In 2013, Puja Pabari, who had never followed cricket and didn't understand the game, married Cheteshwar Pujara and witnessed firsthand what happens in a cricketer's daily life. Over the next few years, however, she learnt the nuances of the game, understood sports nutrition to take care of the diet requirements of a vegetarian husband and took charge of the Pujara household as the sole woman in the house. 
  In The Diary of a Cricketer's Wife, Puja brings a unique perspective on what it takes to be a cricketer's wife, the pressures of managing expectations on both personal and professional fronts and the struggles, vulnerabilities and triumphs of being so closely associated with the game in a cricket-crazy nation. Alongside, she offers a rare glimpse into Cheteshwar Pujara's life, from playing street cricket at a railway colony in Rajkot to eventually becoming one of the greatest test cricketers in India, and the sacrifices his parents made to ensure he fulfilled his dream despite their difficult circumstances. 
  Heartfelt and candid, The Diary of a Cricketer's Wife is a testament to the resilience and passion that define Cheteshwar as well as the couple's enduring love and commitment to each other-a rollercoaster of emotions.

Moreover, travel workouts can improve your sleep quality and keep your energy levels high, making your trip more enjoyable and productive.

  Game Changers - Stories of...

  In every era, athletes have pushed the boundaries of what is possible within their sports, but some have gone even further, breaking societal and cultural barriers in ways that extended far beyond the field. These trailblazers were not just pioneers in athletic achievement; they were agents of change who challenged and changed the status quo. 
  One of the most significant ways athletes have broken barriers is by overcoming racial and gender inequalities. The barriers that existed in sports were often a reflection of the larger societal issues of their time. In the early 20th century, racial segregation in professional sports was common. For African American athletes, simply getting the chance to play was an act of defiance. Jackie Robinson's entry into Major League Baseball in 1947, when he became the first African American to play in the MLB, was a defining moment in the fight against racial discrimination in sports. Robinson’s courage on the field changed the landscape of professional sports and helped to dismantle segregation both in athletics and in society. 
  Similarly, gender barriers have been a significant challenge for female athletes. For many years, women were excluded from participating in major competitions, and the sports they were allowed to play were often seen as inferior. However, athletes like Billie Jean King, who defeated Bobby Riggs in the infamous "Battle of the Sexes" tennis match in 1973, helped to elevate women's sports and demonstrate that women were just as capable of excelling at the highest levels. King's victory wasn’t just a win in sports—it was a victory for gender equality and a powerful symbol of the struggle for women's rights.
