Over the course of a few months, Amanjot Kaur made these statements at news appearances.
Fearless both on and off the field, the 25 year old all rounder has gained not only recognition for her cricketing prowess but also for her Rajinikanth style jokes.She used the soaring quotation earlier this year to describe how she maintained her motivation while on a six month injury layoff.
In contrast, the lion allegory was used during India's Women's World Cup opening on Tuesday in Guwahati.
Amanjot is proving to be just as entertaining off the field as she is on the field, and she is well known for her Rajinikanth style jokes.
Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati was alive with excitement. India, the hosts, were asked to bat on a cloudy afternoon.
To watch the Women in Blue take center stage, thousands of people showed up.
Many people wearing the famous Smriti Mandhana No. 18 shirt anticipated that the superstar opener, who had been playing at her best before the competition, would have another strong innings.
But Mandhana only made ten deliveries. The air had become heavy by the twentieth over.
Inoka Ranaweera, a left arm spinner from Sri Lanka, altered everything with a single, devastating over, despite efforts by Pratika Rawal and Harleen Deol to rebuild.
It was the turn that defeated Jemimah Rodrigues. Almost instantly, Captain Harmanpreet Kaur followed. Richa Ghosh, the big hitting wicketkeeper, struggled.
Four wickets had been lost by India in four runs. 124 for 6 was displayed on the scoreboard. Disaster threatened on the first day of a home World Cup.
At that point, Amanjot entered. Just intent, no anxiety or fear. Like her rescue act in her T20I debut, she looked every inch the player for the stage at the age of 25, who was still in the early phases of her international career.
Amanjot took over with Deepti Sharma on the other end. With deliberate strokes, she gradually pulled India back from the edge.
The counterattack followed, with strong lofted strokes, graceful drives, and a dash of unconventional flare. The Chandigarh born carpenter's daughter was chiselling her masterpiece.
