"You Can’t Play Cricket Without Arms”

He grew up dreaming of becoming a cricketer. But after losing both his arms at a young age, that dream seemed impossible.
Years later, Amir Hussain Lone not only returned to cricket but went on to become an Indian para cricketer and captain of the Jammu & Kashmir para cricket team.
In this candid conversation with Brut journalist Hamna, Amir reflected on the challenges he faced, the setbacks that could have ended his dream, and how he rewrote his story, from Kashmir to the 79th Cannes Film Festival, where a biopic based on his life was announced. #Cannes2026
