Amir Hussain Lone, a 34-year-old differently-abled cricketer from Jammu and Kashmir, has garnered recognition and support from industrialist Gautam Adani for his unique playing style. Lone, who lost both arms in a childhood accident, bowls using his legs and bats using his shoulder and neck. Gautam Adani, chairman of the Adani Group, praised Lone's courage and dedication on social media, promising "every possible support" for his exceptional journey in cricket.
In response to Adani's encouragement, Lone expressed his gratitude, stating, "I hope that they will help me in this journey. Sachin sir also tweeted yesterday, and today, Adani sir, I am very happy. I hope we get some help." Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar had earlier lauded Lone's passion for the sport, expressing a desire to meet him and receive a jersey imprinted with his name.
Lone's journey into para cricket began in 2013, discovered by a teacher who recognized his talent. Despite the challenges, he became the captain of Jammu and Kashmir's para cricket team. The support from Sachin Tendulkar and Gautam Adani has further elevated Lone's spirits, emphasizing the impact of resilience and determination in the face of adversity.
