Cricket as a sport is a religion in India. And cricketers are worshipped by nearly 1.5 billion people. However, till date the Indian cricket team didnât have a player from the North-Eastern part of India, till Riyan Parag came along. This is because the North-East is tormented by various natural calamities â torrential rain, hailstorms, snow, floods, landslides, earthquakes, and cyclones. It is subjected to extremes of temperature and humidity. However, these challenging conditions have only served to fortify the resolve of the region's inhabitants, who consistently demonstrate an ability to triumph against adversity. This includes not only everyday individuals but also emerging sports talent â weightlifters, cricketers, boxers, and footballers â whose passion propels them to international recognition including medals at the Olympics.
