I did, and gave it up for others too .. that be the story behind the post .. honest truth .. and the numbers still elude .. Virat the highest and the mightiest at somewhere in 160 m plus .. and look Ma , me at barely 29 m , tux and all notwithstanding !!!".

This is not the first time when Big B gave a shout-out to the Indian cricketer.
