Nat'l-level boxer's daughter shines on basketball court
Ludhiana: For Pardeep Kaur, a national-level boxer who once dreamt of representing India internationally, watching her daughter shine in a global arena is a dream reborn. Her daughter, Tishmeet Kaur, is fulfilling that dream, not in the boxing ring, but on the basketball court. Tishmeet was a key player in India's Under-16 girls' basketball team that emerged victorious in the SABA qualifying zone held in the Maldives from June 12 to 15. India won all its matches in a dominant fashion, defeating Bangladesh, Maldives, and Sri Lanka. In the final, India again trounced Sri Lanka, winning by more than 50 points. What makes her achievement even more special is that Tishmeet was the only player from north India to make it to the national squad. Now, having helped India qualify for the final round of the Asian Basketball Championship (ABC), scheduled to be held in Malaysia this Sept, she is preparing to showcase her talent on the international stage. Pardeep Kaur, now a DPT physical education teacher at DAV School, Pakhowal Road, where Tishmeet is a Class XI student, shared, "I had played at the national level in boxing and told Tishmeet that she must go beyond that and achieve at the international level." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Thị trường có dấu hiệu suy thoái không?
