“I don’t believe in making the right decisions,” Bowler Mayank Yadav allegedly said in reference to Ratan Tata
In the cricket world, Mayank Yadav, an Indian cricket player and bowler for the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), has been creating headlines. What many people may not be aware of, however, is the fascinating background surrounding his choice to become a cricket player. Prior to starting his cricket career, Yadav had an opportunity to join the Indian Navy. Yadav’s love for cricket overrode all other factors, thus he turned down the job offer and committed himself fully to sports, even though it was a great chance.
An unexpected source provided a crucial element in Yadav’s decision-making process: a fictitious quotation ascribed to well-known entrepreneur Ratan Tata. When Yadav recalled the episode, he said that while his coach wasn’t happy with his choice to decline the Navy position, he was more concerned about the possibility of career-ending injuries and the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 epidemic.
Yadav looked to the Bhagavad Gita, a holy book in Hindu philosophy, for direction and clarity. Yadav saw a phrase ascribed to Ratan Tata on social media on this introspective trip, and it struck a deep chord with him. Yadav was inspired by the saying, “I don’t believe in taking right decisions; I take decisions, then I make them right,” which gave him the willpower to pursue his love of cricket in spite of all obstacles.
As he considered his path, Yadav emphasized the quote’s transformational influence on his life and decision-making. His narrative is a tribute to the strength of tenacity and will in following one’s goals in the face of uncertainty and hardship.
A Google search for the phrase resulted in an interview with Ratan Tata, during which the anchor asked him about the comment that was credited to him and which motivated Mayank Yadav. It was revealed during the interview that Tata had never said such things; instead, they had been wrongly ascribed to him and had been spreading on social media.
