A journey from cricket to javelin throw for Pushpinder
For Pushpinder, his sporting journey started as a cricketer. However, after several years of back and forth, he found para athletics to be serving his purpose. Speaking about the same, he said: "At first, I didn't know about para games. I used to play cricket and usually anyone woth disability grabs the attention. When I used to play cricket, I used to feel awkward. I had to leave cricket – because lack of financial support and sponsorship and didn't see any future in it. That's when someone introduced me to para games." "I then looked it up on YouTube about the other sporting disciplines that are in Para Games. Within one year of para athletics, I got sponsors and support – so continuing para sports."
