Sandhu said while the credit goes to this gifted player, it was also the result of the dedication, hard work and sacrifices made by his parents — Manoj Malhotra and Poonam Malhotra — that Vihaan had achieved such a big milestone. He added that Vihaan Malhotra will be given a grand welcome on his return to Patiala.
