Cross-border cricket friends meet
Former Pakistani cricketer Zaheer Abbas was in the city to attend the wedding of the daughter of his friend, Krishnakant Kudale.
While in city Zaheer took a trip down memory line about his association with Kudale, how he had invited him to watch the Test match in Mumbai and kept company with him whenever he was not playing. They were together for all five days of the Test in Mumbai.
"In 1982, Zaheer invited me and my wife to Karachi when India toured Pakistan.
Speaking to TOI, Zaheer said: "I would keep in touch with Krish (Kudale) whenever I came to India. We have exchanged letters and also called up each other.
"Zaheer distinctly remembers the Pune match in 1979. "I remember it well, particularly the way Sandeep Patil batted against us," he said.
Kudale was fulsome in praise of Zaheer���s batting, while admitting that he knew little of the game before meeting the cricketer. "I relished his elegant batting, the hallmarks of which were his precision and timing. We met on numerous occasions and I always took time out to watch his matches. I am truly indebted that a person of such high calibre has kept in touch," he said.
More recently, Kudale met Zaheer in New Delhi last year when the cricketer was here during the World Cup as an expert commentator with a news channel.
On Thursday, Zaheer also called on former India captain Chandu Borde and they along with Kudale went out for lunch.
