Syed Kirmani, the legendary wicketkeeper of India's 1983 World Cup-winning team, has switched gears from cricket to golf, and he’s not holding back on his enthusiasm. At the NDTV DP World PGTI Pro-Am, he boldly declared that after cricket, golf takes the crown as the best game. It’s a testament to how the spirit of competition transcends sports, wouldn’t you agree?

Kirmani's passion for golf isn't just a passing phase; he sees it as a way to stay active and enjoy camaraderie with fellow sports enthusiasts. "Golf challenges you mentally and physically, just like cricket did," he noted, hinting at the parallels between the two games. With a competitive streak still alive, Kirmani exemplifies how sports can unite generations.

As the golf scene continues to grow in India, it’s exciting to see icons like Kirmani championing the sport. Who knows, maybe we’ll see him teeing off at a major tournament soon!
