The two shared a special exchange at Anfield, celebrating the global bond that sports create across generations and disciplines.This rare interaction between a young Indian cricket star and one of football’s all-time greats makes for a compelling culture-meets-sport story.
Meanwhile Washington Sundar’s exclusion from Asia Cup squad came as a shock. With his ability to control games with the ball and contribute handy runs, Sundar was seen as a natural fit in the UAE conditions. His recent showing in the Test series against England only underlined his growing maturity, but the selectors chose to go in a different direction.
