Despite being hearing challenged since birth, Vrishan has overcome this disability and achieved success in the field of lawn bowling.

Vrishan joined the club seven years ago to play golf. However, he discovered his passion for lawn bowling soon. He learned about this game from the experienced bowlers at the club premises. Soon he started winning trophies at different tournaments. He also started representing RCGC at the annual bowling competition against the Royal Bangkok Sports Club.

Viswanath Pai, a national player himself took Vrishan under him and taught him the finer nuances of the game.
