Amanjot’s father sacrificed
The story of Amanjot is absolutely filmy. This player used to play cricket with the boys in her street. In school too, Amanjot used to play cricket with the boys. Amanjot’s father Bhupinder Singh works as a carpenter. However, despite this, he considered his daughter’s passion as his passion. Bhupinder Singh got his daughter enrolled in a cricket academy. He also changed the city for the betterment of his cricket. Finally, Amanjot got the right training in Chandigarh. The great thing is that Amanjot’s father also reduced his work for his daughter. He used to drop and pick him up at the academy. The fruits of this father’s sacrifice have finally started bearing fruit and his daughter is ready to enter international cricket.
