There's no denying how demanding it is to achieve the CA charter. What's  even more demanding is the sheer amount of hard work it took to achieve  the coveted 2 alphabets prefixing your name with an All India Rank and  that too in the first attempt. Today is one such person who achieved  both of the feats.

Rarely is the case when our guest takes over the ruins that we make and  makes our day by speaking some genius stuff. This episode was one such  case. Swapnil brought with himself this level of humbleness for all the  achievements that he'd carried, as much as we have I'm sure you'd learn  some valuable lessons too. Hope y'all enjoy!

Kick-starting our Season 2 Campaign with Jatinder Singh, the Marquee  Opening Batsman & the Face of Oman Cricket for the ICC T20 World Cup  this year. Despite Oman's unsuccessful campaign, it was history in the  making as it has established itself in the conversation of the main  cricketing circuit. Of which, our guest today has played a massive  massive part in being the face of Oman Cricket for this world cup. Oman prides itself on its fiercest supporters no matter the outcome, I am  sure this has not only inspired a wave of Omani cricketers from now on,  but it has improved the morale of the city altogether after a tough  testing phase due to COVID the previous year. We were truly inspired by the professional demeanor Jatinder had carried with himself off the  field despite such a huge responsibility resting on his shoulders. I am sure you'll enjoy this episode as much as we have, do stay till the end!     OUTLINE   0:00 - Intro  2:18 - Humble beginnings & growing up in Muscat  5:57 - Journeying through middle school cricket into the national side  9:19 - Massive Growth of Oman Cricket over the years   14:45 - Making a mark in the ICC T20 World Cup   16:15 - An Apnapan Love for Oman  18:18 - Mental Prep against Big Names   21:14 - An Opening Batsman's philosophy   23:36 - Choosing Cricket professionally   28:15 - Some Philosophical Thoughts & conquering Social Media Bias   32:15 - Final Thoughts
