Hyderabad: Going through the lineup of the Netherlands cricket team, no one will find anything unusual, till they arrive at one name. Teja Nidamanur is the name of the Telugu boy, who has roots in Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh and is playing for the Netherlands at the national level. His tale of twists and turns saw him being born in Vijayawada, growing up in New Zealand and playing a key role in the Dutch side.
Teja was separated from his father at a very young age and his mother took him to Auckland. She used to work as a dialysis technician and educated her son in the country. But, by the time, Teja completed his schooling, his mother returned to Vijayawada when he was 16-years-old. He then studied on his own and stayed in a rented room and did part-time jobs in New Zealand.
