FischerTal Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 India's star cricketer Cheteshwar Pujara, who is also Election Commission's Brand Ambassador in Gujarat, specially flew down from Abu Dhabi, where he has been part of the Kings XI Punjab in the ongoing Indian Premier League, to cast his vote in Rajkot on Wednesday. This is the first time in his life that Cheteshwar has cast his vote in any election. He had missed opportunities in the past because of his tight cricketing schedule. He would invariably be away, either playing somewhere, or travelling. "We had decided to reach as early as possible at the polling booth and cast our votes," a smiling Cheteshwar told Rediff.com. "I had decided not to miss voting this time around, not just because I am Election Commission's brand ambassador, but because I really wanted to experience it. Luckily, there was no scheduled match for my team in the IPL on this particular day, which made it quite easy for me to come to Rajkot." The stylish right-hand batsman further added that "it was a very special feeling and experience" to cast a vote for the very first time in his life. "India is the world's largest democracy and we all must vote without fail as far as possible," he said. "I was really happy that my wife, too, was with me when I cast my vote." Cheteshwar will now fly to Mumbai to rejoin his IPL team for the rest of the matches in India.
