Rajesh Kannur, a physically disabled cricketer, will represent India in England's T20 tournament. He achieved a century in a multinational tournament, a first for Indian PD cricket. Kannur, born to rag-picker parents, lives in a hut without electricity in Vijayapura. He juggles cricket with rag-picking and struggles to afford a proper kit.
