'This is Dhiraj from Bangalore. On my way back from Delhi on May 5th, I met Shoaib Akhtar at the Delhi airport. He was going to Kolkata to join his IPL team,' writes Dhiraj.

'Unlike his onfield tough personality, Shoaib was very amicable off the field and readily allowed me to take the snap.

Wish him all the best for his stint with Kolkata Knight Riders. Hope the team regains its winning formula with the arrival of the fast & furious 'Rawalpindi Express'.'
