Sandeep Singh shared,"Not just India but I am happy to share my story in every part of the world. As players, we did travel a lot and our game was there to be seen by everybody. However, there are so many things in a player’s life that people don’t know about. Today, since a movie is being made on my life, I am glad I am getting to talk about the unknown phases of my life. It was a great honour to go to Cambridge University and I am told that I am the only sportsperson in India to have delivered a speech there. If it’s true, then I am extremely humbled to have been given this opportunity to talk to students and inspire them through my story."
