According to Sunil Waghela, being handicapped is not a disability, but an ability to do things differently. Waghela, who was born with a deformed hand, claimed six wickets, including a hat-trick, to help LIC President’s XI register a five-wicket win over South Zone in the All India inter-zonal cricket tournament conducted by the All India Cricket Association for the Physically Challenged (AICAPC) at the PJ Hindu Gymkhana yesterday.

The 40-year-old medium-pacer, a father of two, said he never let his disability get in the way of his cricketing dreams. “My disability has given me strength,” said the Zaheer Khan fan.
