I Wanted To Be A Cricketer, But Father Said No: Boxer Gaurav Bidhuri
Speaking to IANS, Gaurav said his father Dharmender Bidhuri was his first coach, who himself is a national-level boxer. "I used to play cricket a lot and I expressed my desire to my father but he said no, 'you will become a boxer'. I then gave it all to boxing and when I won the World Championship bronze medal, my father was in tears and so was I."
"I now feel the decision to opt for boxing was right but cricket is a different level of sport in India. Everyone just loves it and I do too," Gaurav said during a cricket tournament - Matri Swar T20 - at the NBA cricket ground here.
