Bollywood actor Arjun Kapoor recently agreed to&nbsp;sponsor a young girl's sports dreams. If reports are anything to believe, the actor has vowed to pay for an 11-year-old promising girl cricketer's entire equipment set till she turns 18. He will be getting her the best cricketing equipment an aspiring cricketer may need in her kit.

Thousands of kids in India are chasing dreams of becoming professional cricketers because, in this country, cricket is a religion. Many Indian women cricketers have gained public recognition in recent years and have had a golden run, which has tremendously inspired many young girls to enter the sports field. And, many are showing promising performances too.

One such promising cricketer is Anisha Rout, who at the young age of 11, is showcasing great skills. She has to&nbsp;travel&nbsp;80 kilometres every day for eight hours of cricket training seven times a week. Her dream is to&nbsp;emulate her hero, Indian batting legend Sachin Tendulkar, and become a professional player.

Anisha's father, Prabhat, works in a company as a supervisor. He is doing whatever he can to be the wind beneath her wings.

As a father, I need to empower her so that she can try to do that and become an inspiration for others like her for generations to come. This help from Arjun Kapoor is a godsend."

Prabhat added, "It takes a lot of load off my shoulders and I can’t thank him enough. It is important for Anisha to get the best equipment as a cricketer and now she will have everything till she turns 18!"
