Cricket or Baseball
He added "When I first came here, I tried to kind of adapt to baseball. I have to say it was a bit challenging. In my first game, I was proud because I hit the ball on the back. It's a really good shot in cricket. I was like, well look, what I did. But people didn't appreciate it. In cricket when you run, you always take your bat with you. So I also ran between base with my bat as well. So eventually, I realised baseball was a bit difficult. I can adjust on many things, but I'm going to stick to cricket,"He also said that "There is a cricket World Cup going on. It's a wonderful tournament... rooting for India to do well. But there's a lot at stake here". Sundar Pichai recently published a letter to his employees supporting the LGBTQ community labourers and stood against the harassment being made for them.
