There is a saying by Confucius, "The man who chases two rabbits catches neither.". But here is an exception. Today, we will tell you about a sportsperson who played in both the ICC and FIFA World Cups.

In a world where breaking into one sport is a lifetime challenge, Ellyse Perry mastered two. Born in 1990, Perry was exposed to multiple sports during her childhood. At just 16, she made history by representing Australia in both football and cricket. The 2009 Women's World Cup held in Australia was her first major ICC tournament.

Two years later, she was also selected for Australia's national team for the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup in Germany. By coming on as a substitute in Australia's first group match against Norway, she became the first Australian athlete to have played in both FIFA and ICC World Cups. And that's not all; playing as a defender, she also scored in the second group encounter against Sweden.

As far as cricket is concerned, she is regarded as one of the greatest of all time. Her major trophies include 2 World Cups, 6 T20 World Cups, a Commonwealth Games Gold medal, and a Women's Premier League Title representing Royal Challengers Bengaluru. When the world says you can only chase one dream, Ellyse Perry shows you can rewrite the rules.
