When I heard about the poosibility of being the face of Telugu Tigers in Premier Futsal, I took it as a pride. What more, with someone like Deco as a marquee player in the team; we are sure to entertain the crowd with some exciting action. Also, I believe my fans and sports lovers will turn out in large numbers and support us. Moreover, it will keep me on my toes and give me an opportunity to spread the sportspmanship spirit.”
