    Indian cab-driver refuses fare, offered dinner by Pakistani cricketers

    Keeping the political differences aside, the Pakistani cricketers won the hearts of millions of Indians after they offered dinner to an Indian-origin cab-driver in Australia. Interestingly, the cab-driver had earlier refused to accept the fare of the ride to an Indian restaurant, owing to the love he has for the sport. The Pakistani cricketers reciprocated his gesture by inviting him to dinner.

    ABC Radio presenter describes the entire story on-air

    During the fourth day of the Test between Pakistan and Australia, presenter Alison Mitchell narrated the whole story on-air, along with former Australian pacer Mitchell Johnson. She revealed that she was traveling in the car of the same cab-driver on the morning of the fourth day of the match. And the driver recited the entire story of his experience with the cricketers to her.

    Alison said the cab-driver picked up five cricketers, including Yasir Shah, Shaheen Shah Afridi, and Naseem Shah, from their hotel. "He was naturally excited to have them in the taxi and they wanted to go to an Indian restaurant. He drove them to the restaurant and when they got out, he said it's on me," Alison described. The cricketers were moved by his gesture.
