He bowls with his feet and bats with his neck. A few days ago, his video with Sachin Tendulkar went viral on social media. (Sachin Tendulkar)
Sachin Tendulkar in a tweet on X said, Aamir has made the impossible possible. This video touched me. This shows how much passion and love he has for the game of cricket. Good luck inspiring millions of people to the sport.
Amir, a resident of Bejabahara village in Jammu and Kashmir, lost both his hands in an accident while working in his father's saw mill (wood cutting factory). He was only 8 years old at that time. After this incident, I will not depend on anyone for my work, he said. No one helped me after this incident. Neither does the government; But my family was with me. After this, Aamir started playing Para Cricket from 2013.
An extraordinary moment for Amir, celebrated by the Master Blaster for his unwavering love and dedication to cricket 🫶
