"He was the driver of our cab and we started chatting, he told me that he is from Pakistan and lives in Sydney. Also that he has been to Hyderabad many times when he was playing for Lahore Badshahs. After which I asked him his full name and then I was shocked to see his face which I could partially recognise. I shook his hand and left," Ganesh Birle posted on Facebook, as per the report in India Today.
