Malik has a heart
NEW DELHI: In a fine gesture of cricketing brotherhood and human relationships, Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik, accompanied by manager Talat Ali and media manager Dr Ahsan Malik yesterday called on Virender Sehwag, to offer condolences on the demise of his father recently.
Soon after the match, they took off for Najafgarh and after braving nearly an hour-and-a-half of evening traffic rush, reached his house. A big contingent of media persons was waiting for them.
They spent about 15 minutes with Sehwag and inquired about the cause of his father's death at a relatively young age of 54. Sehwag said he was diabetic and that proved fatal for him.
Malik told the media he could imagine how Sehwag was feeling since his own father had died during the Indian team's tour of Pakistan.
Dr Malik said the team management felt it was the right thing to do. "It was also a bid to show that we should rise above everything else in a tragic moment like this."
