Sarah doesn’t shy away from voicing her opinions, especially the unpopular ones. It doesn’t matter whether is it MS Dhoni or Rohit Sharma, she has speared none, despite being on the receiving end of some social media trolls.
Kohli is the GOAT, but Leander Paes is Sarah’s all-time favourite sporting hero. She believes in the power of sports to unite people and create unforgettable moments, and ever grateful for the opportunity to be a part of that journey.
