I so wanted to play & make my debut. I did play with a bleeding finger-nail, and gosh, that feeling was surreal!

Today, 12 years & 7 months later, I can proudly say that I played 99 games with the same approach and passion that I had when I played the 1st match! Jaydev Unadkat (@JUnadkat) January 16, 2023
