The fastest man on earth arrived at Bangalore International Airport on Tuesday to keep his date with India.
Usain Bolt, on his maiden visit to the country, will feature in a friendly cricket match with India's star players Yuvraj Singh and Zaheer Khan.
The World and Olympic champion will be a part of the seven-a-side exhibition match against a team that will have the country's leading cricketers, including Yuvraj.
The sprinter is certainly no mug with cricket, having exhibited his talent in a similar face-off against fellow-countryman Chris Gayle. In fact, he had him clean bowled immediately after being dispatched for a massive six in a T20 match in the West Indies.
Bolt, whose favourite cricketer is former Pakistan fast bowler Waqar Younis, has claimed in the past that his first love is cricket and as a child he wanted to be a fast bowler.
While Team Bolt will comprise his best friend, Nugent Walker Junior, and Indian spinning great Harbhajan Singh, Team Yuvraj will have his long-time friend and renowned Indian bowler Zaheer.
Both teams will have a specialist wicketkeeper.
The four-over match will be played at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore and hosted by former India player Ajay Jadeja.
In a unique format, Bolt and Yuvraj will be present on the pitch to bat throughout their respective overs. Four runs will be deducted every time a player gets out.
