You retired from cricket, how has life been since then? When did you realise it was time to start a new chapter? Can your fans see you playing anytime soon?
Cricket has given me everything and I am grateful for all the experiences, learnings and opportunities. However, there comes a point in life where you realise that in the quest of your ambitions, you have been running at a fast pace from one phase of your life to the other, and not able to appreciate it. Putting things into perspective, I made the decision to move onto a different phase in my life and it has been great! I have been spending my time with family, doing things that I am passionate about apart from cricket and just living in the moment. I feel relaxed, mostly because I have finally had the time to sleep. I have also been enjoying my time reading fan messages and mails. Yes, I am always looking forward to playing cricket. The infinite love of my fans keeps pulling me back to the field. So you never know, I might surprise you one day!
From cricket to entrepreneurship, how has the change been? How do you apply your learnings from the field of cricket to your role as an entrepreneur?
