I realised that for a little boy of nine years old to concentrate for 20 overs and score 164, he’s got to have a special talent; both of them. So I explored that.We usually went to the nets. I trained them there, bowled to them, taught them some techniques. They were talented, I saw that, and I knew that they are going to be all right in the cricket scenery.”
