On this, Kumble said that Shah Rukh Khan reminds me a little bit of Pollard. When I was in Mumbai Indians, Pollard was quite dangerous in the nets. I used to bowl a bit in the nets then. I used to tell him that straight shots do not hit much. I will not try to catch the ball here at all. Now I am old enough and my body does not support me. That is why Shahrukh bats like me, at least I will not bowl in the nets. This is absolutely certain

It is a big deal to get praise from a legend like Kumble: Shahrukh
Shahrukh is also very happy to hear his praise from Kumble. He said that it is a big thing for me that a veteran player like Kumble said such a thing. I talk a lot with the players present in the Punjab team and the members involved in the support staff. They make me aware of the game
