‘Woh run maare, tabh mere saath hoga, jab nahi maarega, tabhi bhi mere saath hoga. (If he scores runs, he’s with us; if he doesn’t, he’s still with us.) It was the same in his schooldays. Tabhi bhi mera dost tha, aaj India ke liye khel raha hain, abhi bhi mera dost hai. (Then too he was my friend, and now that he’s playing for India, he still remains my friend.)’
