Ayush from a modest past will thank for his support from them despite the financial difficulties he had to pass for years.
“My father and my mother, I never realized that there were some financial problems at home. It never affected me. If a bat broke, then I didn’t want a new one. Even today, my father travels with me on the local train, so that if there is any verbal fight with someone, I will take care of it, so I don’t get any negativity when I go to the bat.”
