Same is the case with mental health. It is normal for anyone to go through ups and downs and when you hit those lows you need people around”. He said that accepting things around you as it is is the only key to solution. He said, “Acceptability is the key here. Not just for the player, for people around him also. Once you have accepted you start looking for solutions”.

He said, “That person got me dosa in the room and after keeping it on the table, he offered an advice. He pointed out that my elbow guard was restricting my bat swing, which was actually the case. He helped me address that issue.”
