X is for the professional Spanish footballer (X)avier Hernandez Creus – #BlogchatterAtoZ #AtoZChallenge 2019 The letter X is indeed a tough call for most of us taking part in the A to Z blogging challenge. Well, things were not any different for me and I had to search quite a bit on the internet before I zeroed in on two sportspersons who had names starting with the letter X.

Many people might consider it rather ridiculous to choose someone like Uthappa over an international star like Usain Bolt but I definitely had some extremel...
