unspoken bond between Bashir and Dhoni blossomed after 2011 World Cup semifinal between two countries. A ticket for arguably biggest game of tournament in Mohali was a precious commodity but Dhoni arranged it for 65-year-old, eugh for him to “unconditionally love” World Cup-winning captain for life.

“On some occasions, I did get some time with him, but in 2019, we could t interact much. But like always, he arranged a ticket for me.

“And during Asia Cup in 2018, he took me to his room and gave me his jersey. That was really special just like two times when he gave me his bat.

“When he did t have time to reach me, he sent a member of support staff with tickets. He did t have to do that but he did,” said an emotional Bashir.
