Shot-putter who broke Asiad record wanted to be a cricketer
Indian shot-putter Tajinderpal Singh Toor, who won gold medal at the Asian Games 2018 with a record throw, wanted to be a cricketer since childhood. The 23-year-old used to be an opening batsman and his favourite cricketers were Sachin Tendulkar and Yuvraj Singh. Tajinderpal gave up cricket for shot put as his father wanted him to pursue an individual sport.
