Dinesh Lad Sir is very good – Aryan Sakpal

Sakpal told News18, “It was a very proud moment for me, because I had watched this tournament on TV last year and before Covid-19. That year also Mumbai won the tournament. My dream was to play in the tournament, to play in the final so that I can be on TV and help my team win the match. So it was a proud moment and that dream also came true.

He further said that, Dinesh Lad sir is very good, and whenever I need him, he is always available and always guides me well. Whenever there is any ups and downs, it feels good to talk to them.
