Amarjeet Singh Chawla, 70, was cheering with the rest of India as the cricket team closed in on the T20 world title at Ahmedabad on Sunday evening. The ‘Sporty Sikh’, as he is known, had dual reasons to be ecstatic.

The same Sunday morning, Kandivli resident Chawla, who is visually impaired, had placed third in the 65-plus age group category at a run held on the Eastern Express Highway’s (EEH) Ghatkopar service way. The distance was 5 km, and the run by two running outfits called ‘18th Kilometer’ and ‘Run2Together’ was held to mark Women’s Day, which falls on March 8.
