When I was like 5-6 it was like (88-89) the entire Indian team came to my town to play a charity match.. As you can imagine the crowds were unbelievable.. I have 3 older sisters who had a major crush on Kapil Dev at the time.. They decide it was a good idea for them to send me on to the field and meet Kapil, so as any good young brother would do I some how past the security guards unnoticed.. Soon as I hit the ground I ran full speed when a wicket was taken I believe it was Sunil Gavaskar who was walking out and thought I was running towards him but I ran past him and went to Kapil and I was so start strucked that I insisted on staying on the field with him.. He was really cool, he told the security guards to go back and told me to stand behind him for the next ball I think he was standing at square leg or something.. After that delivery he promised I'd get to play with him and I believed it and I came back into the standings... When my parents found out what my older sisters made me do.. they got in some trouble.. LoL.. And my stupid coach made me run laps at my next lesson cause I interrupted the match.. He was an a**hole.. One of the highlights in my life...

Eoin Morgan was in a net next to me a couple of weeks ago, he pretty much middled everything

Met Laxmipathy Balaji, hes a really nice guy. He was fielding on the boundary in a charity match and between overs would come and sit with me and my mate and have a good old chin wag! Met Dinesh Mongia and Harbhajan Singh. Went to the charity shield with Ashish Nehra a couple of seasons ago when he had a foot injury. Very nice guy

I know a guy who played for Canterbury in NewZeland for a bit when he was 18, he was sharp back then, too much beer now though, he bowled at some of the NZ guys in a net.
