OUR JOURNEY WASN'T EASY

FARDEEN NAUSHAD CATCHES UP WITH TWO OF INDIA’S MOST-LOVED CRICKETERS – AMBATI THIRUPATHI RAYUDU AND KARN VINOD SHARMA

- FARDEEN NAUSHAD

It’s not very often that one gets the opportunity to interview two famous sportsmen at one go and so when we found out that Ambati Thirupathi Rayudu and Karn Vinod Sharma were up for an interview with Provoke Lifestyle Magazine, we jumped at the offer.

We greeted the two cricketers at our Toni&Guy Salon in Poes Garden, Chennai; had a quick makeover; before we proceeded to the venue for our interview and cover shoot. Amelie’s Cafe and Creamery is a huge favourite within the Provoke Team and so we were overjoyed when they decided to graciously be our host. Amid several selfies with adoring fans and the general positive vibe around the place, we managed to sneak in a quick tête-à-tête:

PEOPLE ARE NOT BORN AS FAMOUS CRICKETERS. THE JOURNEY FROM NORMAL PERSON TO A CRICKETER ADORED BY THE MILLIONS MUST HAVE BEEN AN INTERESTING ONE?

Rayudu: It definitely was. I had to play cricket for almost 20 years before I was noticed as worthy of the national team. But the journey has been amazing.
