Hey good folks of Twitter, I'm looking for uplifting stories done on fans of Indian cricket. Stories of people who overcame challenges and hardships in their pursuit of love for cricket. Attaching a few links in the replies for you to get an idea. Would really appreciate the help

Two years ago, my mom left us. What follows here is not a story of how, why, and when because all of that is too personal to recount here. However, what I do want to share though is a lesson that I learned the hard way and one that I feel should be shared here since some of you
have been a part of that learning.

I was 25 when it happened and after leaving academics (something I loved) and moving to sports and television, I'd done fairly well for myself professionally, thanks to the support and guidance of some people who I'll remain forever indebted.
Strangely though, I never thought too highly of myself, largely because of an impostor syndrome and also because I was too ambitious and always chasing the big breakthrough in life. So, in front of that grand goal, nothing seemed big enough. I was always on the chase.

Love this photo of @scgmacgill and @BrettLee_58 . There's a story here as well. This picture is from MacGill's final Test in Antigua against West Indies. The leg-spinner didn't have the best match and gave away more than 100 runs in his 21 overs. But he takes credit for five Image
wickets according to Lee's autobiography. This is what happened. West Indies were 314/4 in their first innings in response to Australia's 479. The top-order had taken the attack to the Australian bowlers and MacGill being the leggie suffered. Dwayne Bravo hit him for a six that
landed on some sharp rocks surrounding a crowd-control moat and fence. After 90 overs, it was time for the new ball but the Australians didn't take it. Brett Lee came back in the 93rd over. His 16 overs earlier hadn't yielded a wicket. But things changed in no time when he began

The amount of matches Lance Klusener won for South Africa from absolutely impossible situations in his prime is insane. If he was playing in the era of social media, people would've gone mad about his ability to finish matches. Sadly, he's now remembered for the one he couldn't.
35 off 17. And he won the match here as well.
27 from 14 with only 3 wickets in hand. Won again.

#RandomCricketPhotosThatMakeMeHappy (NOT)

For most growing up in the late 90s and early 2000s, Sachin v Shoaib was cricket's battle royale of individual contest. But have you wondered why so little is talked about Shoaib's battles with another great of that era, Brian Lara?
The answer is because it lasted just five deliveries.

YES. JUST FIVE.

As opposed to hundreds of deliveries he bowled to Sachin, Akhtar bowled only five balls to Lara throughout his career which lasted close to 15 years and coincided with the last 10 years of Lara's career.
And this terrible incident happened on the fifth delivery.

And, of course, there's an interesting story to it as well.
