Where there's a will there's a way! When double arm amputee Amir Hussain Lone was 8, he lost both his arms in an accident at his father's sawmill. Incredibly, Amir now captains the Jammu & Kashmir para cricket team, batting using his neck and shoulder and bowling with his foot.

The 34 year old cricketer has had an extraordinary journey from the small village of Waghama to the international stage and has developed an incredible cricket genius based on determination, grit, passion and dedication.

He has taken his unique talents to Nepal, Dubai, and more recently he played in Sharjah in the UAE para league.

Sachin Tendulkar is his hero and upon hearing Amir's story on social media, Tendulkar posted a heartwarming message of celebration:

"Amir has made the impossible possible and shows how much love and dedication he has for the game - I hope I get to meet him one day and get a jersey with his name."

"Well done for inspiring millions who are passionate about playing the sport." Tendulkar added.

In reply, a proud Amir told news agency ANI. "I never thought that great people would tweet for me,"

"I am very happy, and I think I am being rewarded for my struggle,"

"I can't express my happiness. My dreams are getting fulfilled."

Thanks to Amir Hussain Lone for the perspective reset and providing a truly inspirational reminder of what the human spirit can achieve!
