#indiancricket #sachintendulkar #theironikshow In a sports landscape often dominated by able-bodied athletes, one man has risen above the rest to defy the odds and inspire a nation. Somjeet Singh, the captain of the Indian Wheelchair Cricket Team, has overcome immense challenges to reach the pinnacle of his sport, showcasing the power of determination and resilience in the face of adversity. This episode of The iRonik Show delves deep into Somjeet's remarkable journey, exploring the discrimination and barriers he has faced, and how he persevered to become a beacon of hope for the disabled community in India. Through candid interviews with Somjeet and his teammates, as well as insights from sports analysts and disability advocates, we uncover the struggles and triumphs that have defined his path to captaincy. Furthermore, the episode examines the broader issues surrounding the accessibility and recognition of para-sports in India. With the support of renowned figures like Sachin Tendulkar and the backing of the Rajasthan Royals, Somjeet's team has made significant strides, but there is still much work to be done to elevate the status of wheelchair cricket and ensure equal opportunities for athletes with disabilities. Join us as we celebrate Somjeet's inspiring story and explore the systemic changes needed to create a more inclusive and equitable sports landscape in India. #ipl #rajasthanroyals #motivation #wheelchaircricket #podcast #trending (0:00)- Coming Up (0:54)- Introduction (2:35)- Somjeet X Ronik Begins (3:14)- Life after paralysis (16:05)- How I started playing Cricket (20:44)- Wheelchair Cricket Association (24:52)- Sachin Tendulkar helped us (28:58)- Wheelchair Cricket in India (39:18)- Support required from BCCI (51:44)- Future of Wheelchair cricket (53:03)- Rules and formats (1:01:52)- Using social media (1:08:10)- Message for others (1:12:49)- Thank you
