Ludhiana (Punjab) [India], August 31 (ANI): Jammu and Kashmir Para Cricket Team Captain Amir Hussain Lone, has set an example by making a mark in the cricketing world despite losing his hands in an accident as a child was felicitated by the Ludhiana Bar Association on Saturday.
On the occasion, Amir shared his life experiences and said that after losing his hands at the age of eight, his life reached a very sad state, but he made cricket his point of support.
He acknowledged that initially, it was very difficult for him to throw the ball with his feet.
Ludhiana Bar Association President Chetan Verma expressed his happiness on meeting Amir Hussain Lone. He also appreciated the hard work and courage of the player.

Tendulkar also praised Amir, calling him a great inspiration for this generation's children, citing his pure will, determination, and passion for the game that propelled him to where he is now.
Tendulkar gifted a bat to Amir which has a personalised inspiring message that read "To Amir, the real hero. Keep inspiring," with his signature. (ANI)
