“It was a very special moment for my son. Very grateful to Mahi Bhai. You know what a brilliant boy he is and what a brilliant captain he is. He is also a great human being. That inspires me more about him and his family,”Imran Tahir said in a YouTube chat.
“I am so happy that he always messaged on Gibran’s birthday, which you missed this year. And yes, you know that one day playing with Gibran would be good for him, he would be like that I am not sure I was Gibran. Growing up he will be like I played with MS Dhoni one of the world’s best captain.
“His way of interacting with the kids and carrying himself among the people is really good. It’s incredible to see. Personally I have lots and lots of respect for him and we always keep him and all the Chennai players in our prayers,” Tahir added.
