Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella loves cricket like most Indians, but when he was asked to pick the favorite cricketer between Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli, he chose both. Ananda Maheshwari, president of Microsoft India, asked Nadella to choose between Kohli and Tendulkar during the 'chat' program. So Nadella said that it is like choosing religion. I would say that tomorrow is Tendulkar and today Virat.
Born in India, this officer's love for cricket is well known. In his book Hit Refresh, he describes how the sport has impacted his professional and personal life. He wrote in his book that wherever I live, this beautiful game is always on my mind.
Happiness, memories, dramatic situations, complexity and ups and downs - endless possibilities. Nadella also referred to a meeting with Anil Kumble during a conversation with Maheshwari. Kumble has opened a startup company called Spectacom Technologies. Nadella said that he gave me a chance to bowl and hit a six, I got a chance to do it only in my life, to live my dream.
