Sharma appreciated the backing received from Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik as well as the sporting abilities that Odisha renders. “The Chief Minister and my dad had a meeting, and they spoke about how they wanted to build on the sports culture in the state. They were ready to offer good centralised infrastructure. Their views on improving the culture of the sports were in line with what we wanted,” he said.
