“The driver was a Paaji from India. We told him to take us to a nice restaurant.  He recognized us and we talked about cricket in Urdu. He refused to take the fare from us when we reached the restaurant. So I told, 'You either have to take the fare or have dinner with us. So he agreed for dinner.' He was very happy that we invited him to dinner. He also clicked pictures with us,” added Yasir Shah.
