Despite losing both his arms in a tragic accident aged just eight years old at his father’s sawmill, he continued to play cricket.
Lone bowls with his toes, but his batting involves holding the bat between his neck and shoulder.
Now a 26-year-old budding cricketer, Amir is the captain of the Jammu and Kashmir para-cricket team.
But his dream is to represent the Indian national team and play like his idol, Sachin Tendulkar.
