Inspiration story of Jessin TK

Jessin's father Mohammad Nisar is an auto driver.

He wanted to become a footballer, and now his son Jessin is fulfilling his dream. Nisar said in an interview to The Indian Express that he wanted to go to the stadium and watch the semi-final match. But he could not see the son scoring in the semi-finals. Since he could not finish his work earlier, he could not reach the stadium.

Mohammad Nisar said that he would finish his early work in the final and go to see his son's match. Kerala faces 32-time champion Bengal in the final. Jessin's father Mohammad Nisar said that I myself wanted to become a footballer. I was not focused.

I kept playing different sports like athletics, basketball, and kabaddi. But nobody could do better. Jessin was also good at athletics. One piece of advice I gave him was to focus on just one thing at a time and I am glad that he remained involved in football.
