Odisha girl Sunita Garabadu got a opportunity to host ICC T20
World Cup matches in Nagpur. She is the first Odia girl to get the
honour to anchor any global sporting event.The International Cricket Council (ICC) has selected well-known model and Odia actress Sunita Garabadu
to anchor T20 World Cup matches to be played at Vidarbha Cricket
Association (VCA) stadium at Nagpur. Sunita has successfully anchored
four World Cup T20 qualifying matches at VCA stadium so far.
She has also anchored several major
sporting events like Indian Premier League (IPL), Champions Trophy
Hockey and Hockey India League (HIL). ..“I must say I have been selected
for this event on the basis of my performance and experience in the
IPL, Champions Trophy Hockey and HIL. Prior to this, I was in constant
touch with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) since last
few years and had associated myself in each sporting event it has
conducted in Odisha and Vishakhapatnam. I think my long association with
the BCCI has finally paid off. Apart from experience, one must have the
knowledge of the sport which matters most,” she added.
Asked about her preparation for the
World Cup T20 opening match between India and New Zealand at Nagpur on
March 15, Sunita said since India is involved in this match, the
enthusiasm among the people here is unbelievable. She, however, said she
would be neutral in her anchoring. “Though I am a die-hard fan of Team
India, I cannot support my home team. Since I will be anchoring on
behalf of ICC, I have to be neutral. I have to support both the Indian
and the New Zealand teams. But I must say I am on cloud 9 that I will be
anchoring a match which involves India.” A graduate from BJB Autonomous
College, Sunita did a course from Air Hostess Academy. Apart from
anchoring, she is also a model and has worked in several TV serials and
in a couple of Odia films.
