Who is Aniket Verma who blasted against RCB?
Aniket Verma’s life has been full of ups and downs since childhood. When his mother died, he was only three years old, and his uncle Amit Verma took up his responsibility. Aniket’s journey from a small town like Jhansi to becoming a star player of IPL has been full of difficulties. At the age of 18, uncle had decided to keep Aniket with him after his elder brother’s second marriage. Aniket’s uncle started working at a young age and dreamed of making him a cricketer. Nandjit, a coach in Bhopal supported his uncle’s dream. When Aniket was young, he used to play cricket in the field for ten hours every day, so that he could forget the emptiness at home. Initial difficulties have made Aniket a fearless player.
