Raahil is a little human with a huge personality. He is very determined and dedicated to the sport he plays. He is a good sportsman and started cricket and golf when he was five years old. At that point in time, cricket was his passion and golf was just a sport on the side. He stopped playing golf for a while and turned his full attention to cricket. When we went into lockdown in 2020 and all sports were cancelled, Raahil found an escape by taking his golf clubs to the park and hitting balls for hours on end. As soon as golf had resumed, his heart was soon set on playing golf again.
