When asked what he enjoys the most about writing, the author shares, "Writing feels liberating. As humans, we have so many thoughts in our mind. I believe rather than ignoring or storing them in my mind, I will pen them. Whenever I played cricket or watched others playing the game, my mind would think 'I also want to read about this sport'. So I decided I will try writing. Eventually, it ended up being a book."
