Motivation Story for Traders :Marvan Atapatu Inspiring Life Story
It’s a story that Harsha Bhogle, India’s most loved cricket
commentator, loves to tell, over and over again. Making his debut in

This time, he tried harder. His scores: 0 in the first innings, 1 in the second Dropped again, he went back to the grind. And scored tonnes of runs in first-class cricket. Runs that seemed inadequate to erase the painful memories of the Test failures. Well, seventeen months later, opportunity knocked yet again. Marvan got to bat in both innings of the Test. His scores: 0 and 0. Phew!
