DEHRADUN, 28 Jan: Atharv Nautiyal and his father, Anuj Nautiyal, called upon Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat at CM Residence on Monday.
During the India-Australia cricket match on 7 January in Sydney, Indian Cricket Captain Virat Kohli had presented his batting pad to Atharv Nautiyal. The incident had been widely reported.
While appreciating Atharv’s spirit for the game, the Chief Minister said that the batting pad given by the Captain of the Indian team would prove to be an inspiration for the young boy in pursuing his interests.
