I want to know who your favorite sports figure is for me I'm not really much of a sports guy. I'm more of an actor Entertainment film sort of guy, so I'm gonna stay out of this one, but you guys answer it down there I want to see what your comments are so to start off talking about variety. Let's just go over the basics This 5/9 right-handed batsman and bowler was born on November 5th, 1988 in New Delhi India and in 2016 ESPN ranked this man as the eighth most popular athlete on the entire planet which is crazy I mean I always thought it might be an American player But let's be real India has a lot of people I wonder if there are any Chinese athletes that we don't know about Hmm now growing up.
He was born into a Punjabi family and his father Prem was a criminal lawyer And his mother suraj. Well. She was a housewife and growing up He was the youngest of three with an older brother and an older sister and although he attended Vishal Bharadwaj school He first got into cricket when he joined the West Delhi Cricket Academy Which was formed in 1998 now throughout his cricket career You might have noticed that he has black wristbands on his wrists now.
Why is that? I mean? Is there a reason for those wrist bands? This is because they are totally has admitted that he is very superstitious Is divisive and even say that what point he's indoor the same gloves while scoring runs But it since 2012 if you notice on his right hand he has a really cool wristband and that is called a cat OhWhich is apparently supposed to bring him good luck now for some of you guys you may not know who is this guy?
