SA vs IND match Allahudien paleker as referee

He also has an uncle, who is still a referee. While his 2 cousins are also working to become referees.
Allahudien paleker expresses his happiness
In the SA vs IND match, he had the opportunity as a referee and that is why he is expressing his happiness.
Palekar said that,
“I started refereeing 15 years ago. It has taken me a long time to get to this point. It requires hard work, patience, and strong family support. Because you stay away from home for a long time because of the arbitration. "
Allahudien paleker further said:
“I have not participated in any family function or marriage for years. Because I didn't have time due to arbitration. My wife Shakira made many sacrifices during this time. I must also thank you for the support and restraint you have shown during my trip. She is truly my strength and now with the pandemic things have become even more difficult. That's why I want to enjoy this moment to the fullest ”.
He expressed his gratitude to his father and said:
“My father was a great inspiration for me to reach the top and fulfill my dream that he could not achieve. He said that his father always wanted to be a top referee, but he couldn't get to that stage and that's why I'm doing my best ”.
