Father builds cricket ground, daughter repays with India cap

Priya Punia's father Surendra Punia sold his property and took loans to buy a 1.5-bigha plot on the outskirts of Jaipur at Harmada for Rs 22 lakh in 2010 so that Priya could train. The 22-year-old opening batswoman now has been named in India’s T20 squad to tour New Zealand. Surendra, a government clerk, was once mocked by an academy's coach for supporting a girl to play cricket.
