Sagar BRSagar BR

Sagar grew up in Bengaluru in a small house with parents and a brother. Life was modest but filled with care: a father who drove an auto-rickshaw, a mother who worked in a garment factory, and both determined that their sons would be educated.

That family support stayed constant through a life-changing accident that led to an above-knee amputation — and a long period of sitting at home, searching for a new path.

While recovering at home, Sagar saw a television interview with DMSA's founders on BTV. That spark of curiosity led to one bold request: permission to attend the first-ever wheelchair cricket event at St. John's cricket ground.

Stepping onto that field was the beginning of a new chapter — and the moment Sagar found Divyaang Myithri Sports Academy.

Sagar is vice-captain of the Karnataka state team. A defining moment came at the fourth National Championship in Gwalior, where Karnataka dominated nearly every game before falling in the final.

When a dip in form made scoring difficult, Sagar didn't step back — Sagar got fitter and lighter and became a consistent performer. A fixture in the India squad since 2019, it is a story of relentless self-improvement.

Sagar's dreams reach beyond the boundary rope: to keep excelling in cricket while becoming a national advocate for accessibility — engaging the 'powerhouses' to demand better public infrastructure, and raising awareness of the para-sports realities that too often go unheard.
