“On our first day in Brisbane, we didn’t know where there was an Indian or Pakistani restaurant. So when the five of us stepped out – Imran Khan, me, Naseem Shah, Musa, and Shaheen Shah – we saw a cab and hailed it,” Yasir Shah said in the video.

Yasir said, “We saw he was a ‘Paaji’ from India. So we spoke to him in Urdu and asked him to take us to a nice restaurant.” “He recognized us and chatted with us about cricket and about him,” the spinner continued.

“When we reached, he refused to take our fare,” Yasir Shah said.

“So I told him if you are not taking our fare, you have to join us for dinner,” Shah said.

“He agreed to the dinner and sat with us. He was very happy that we offered him dinner and clicked pictures with us,” he concluded.

Pakistan lost the series opener in Brisbane by an innings and five runs. The second match – a day-night Test in Adelaide – begins on Friday.
