We as a nation have always been passionate about cricket and never gave enough support to even our national game Hockey, let alone other games. Our one-dimensional love made cricketers the Gods of the country, while other sportsmen kept struggling for the bare minimum attention. The situation has come to a level where our cricketers are millionaires and other sportsmen can’t even afford the basic family expenditure.
But the world seems to be changing slowly and steadily as people have started coming in their support. And it makes us even happier to know that our cricketers are also coming ahead to promote other sports and players.
An extremely talented Indian skater, Nischay Luthra, who has already won 12 medals at National Championships including 9 Gold medals couldn’t afford to complete his training in the USA and had to return back to India.
Now the cricketer, KL Rahul has extended his support to the skater through Adidas’s campaign Fan the Fire.
About the campaign #FanTheFire
Famous sports equipment and merchandise giant, Adidas has launched this campaign in order to raise funds and aid Nishchay’s bid to participate in the 2018 Winter Olympics.
KL Rahul changed his Twitter display name to Nischay Luthra and shared the details of the campaign in order to create awareness about it. Interestingly, other cricketers like Rohit Sharma, Rishab Pant and Unmukt Chand have also supported the campaign by tweeting about it, but Rahul’s gesture was special. Have a look at the tweets of all the cricketers-
