I was shocked because I couldn't tell anyone where I was going and I couldn't tell my family that they were worried.
00:28
So I packed all my stuff and went to Azad Maidan.
00:49
I came to Mumbai 7-8 years ago with my father.
00:58
One day I went to Azad Maidan and played there for a while. I liked it here and I always wanted to play here.
01:15
I wanted to work there and also live there.
01:31
I used to wake up early in the morning, do some work and then go back to play the match.
01:38
I used to do this for a few days and then they told me that I would have to work more.
01:45
When it rains here, all the water comes into the tent.
01:54
It was so hot in the summer that there was no washroom and no electricity.
01:59
When I used to live in a tent, the gardeners and I used to cook together.
02:09
Sometimes there used to be a fight and I would have to sleep hungry.
02:16
I didn't tell my family about this because if I did, they would have called me back home.
02:24
I didn't want to go home.
02:30
I used to work in a shop in Panipuri where I could buy and eat whatever I could afford.
02:40
I focused on cricket more than anything else.
02:50
I have prepared myself mentally and I have changed all my negative thoughts into positive ones.
03:00
My game has improved a lot.
03:11
I played for India U19s and I am very happy.
03:15
But I have to work harder, focus more and give 100 percent.
