Meanwhile, Afghanistan players Hashmatullah Shahidi and Rahmat Shah were on a night out in Pune and met with a very generous taxi driver, who didn’t charge any fare, despite repeated requests from the players.
Shahidi posted the interaction on Instagram where he can be seen in conversation with the driver.
He posted on Instagram: “This taxi driver hasn’t charged us for the ride. I’m sure it would have been his half-day income. Respect to the guy. It means a lot to us. Overwhelmed by the love, respect, and affection people have shown us wherever we go since we have arrived in India.”
