Dipendra Singh Airee 2.0, his tattoos, and his comeback in the Nepal cricket

The tattoo on the left arm of star cricketer Dipendra Singh Airee reads ‘Never give up.’ He inked the tattoo in 2016, after returning from the U-19 World Cup. Airee has a philosophy that one should never give up while representing the nation.

He has witnessed many ups and downs of the Nepali men’s senior cricket team in the last five years while being a key player in it. Airee was the vice-captain for the national team for two years (November 2019-December 2021) and has always enjoyed cricket. When he was stripped of the vice-captaincy after a serious row , he felt quite low, perhaps the lowest of the past few years. He almost gave up.
