Talking about that part of his game, he had once explained, “In school cricket, in Borivali where I used to stay, if you didn’t have a pull shot or cut shot, you couldn’t survive. Nobody was going to bowl up to you. They were all going to bowl short and bounce you out. And the ball rises, so at times you had to play the pull off the front foot there.”

Other cricketers also reacted to the post. Harbhajan Singh shared the post and tagged Rohit Sharma and Ricky Ponting while Kevin Petersen named former South Africa cricketer Andrew Hudson.
