Footballer Nikhil hopes for Guinness Record in freestyle football

New Delhi: On the verge of making it to the prestigious Guinness World Records, professional freestyle footballer Nikhil Krishna wants to improve the profile of the relatively unknown sport in India. The 22-year-old from Delhi does not just want to bring accolades to the country, but also contribute towards improving the lives of fellow freestyle footballers in the country.

Apart from sole juggles, Nikhil also does sole juggle spin, headstall, neck stall, side headstall, Around the moon (ATM) and Lemmens around the world (LATW).

“I have already registered my name for the same, but the entire process of reviewing the records and result declaration would take three months,” Nikhil, who is hopeful that this achievement would be a step ahead in popularising the sport, told IANS.

“The reason why people don’t really value this sport as much as cricket, football or tennis is that they are not aware of it. I want to do something for the upcoming generation so that they don’t struggle as much as I did. I want to grow the community of freestyle footballers,” he added.

Like every successful person, Nikhil who likes to go by the monicker ‘Nikk Freestyler’, had his own difficulties and struggles. IANS
