Porusu00a0Shroff of Campion (Cooperage) plays football but is yet to make a mark. While his sister Kyra has achieved quite a lot of fame in her own domain -- tennis. She is currently ranked 794 in the WTA charts.
Like his elder sister, Porus -- who is the captain of Campion -- has also shown signs of maturity in handling the pressure and has scored nine goals so far for his school.
Yesterday, his brace against St Francis D'Assisi (Borivli) earned Campion full points following a 2-1 win in the under-16 MSSA first division match at the Azad Maidan.
Kyra, who is currently playing in the Sau Paulo ITF meet, said they have grown up in a competitive environment but never had any rivalry.
"There is no rivalry between us. We are very supportive of each other. Being a little younger, Porus always wants me to win every match which is very difficult," Kyra said from Sau Paulo.
Porus, on the other hand, also has immense faith in her sister when it comes to work ethics. "She is like any elder sister and is very strict about the diet. It is because of her that I had to leave pizzas," Porus chuckled.
