Sudhir Kumar Chaudhary might not be a very well-known name on its own, but most cricket fans could identify him, just with a glimpse. With Indian written on his forehead, his body painted in tricolour and the national flag in hand, the famous Indian cricket fan is among the most ardent.
It is on innumerable times that Chaudhary is seen waving the Indian tricolour in India’s games. In fact, he holds the record for attending every cricket match that India has played at home since 2007. He also tries to go to as many overseas India matches as possible. Due to his dedication, he is often called the ‘Biggest fan of Team India.’ Trained as a teacher, Chaudhary doesn’t hold any job and has dedicated his life to following the Indian cricket team. He is also a massive Sachin Tendulkar fan and paints the name of the legendary cricketer on his chest when watching India’s matches from the stands.
In what has come as a piece of good news for fans, Sudhir Kumar Gautam (Chaudhary) has been funded by Sachin to go to the 20-20 World Cup in Australia. The devoted Indian fan took to Twitter in announcing the great news. Gautam posted a picture of him holding the flight ticket to Australia with the following caption.
