My first memory of him presenting that show on TV was in the late 80s/early 90s. My dad was telling me: "uni ek bhalo cricketer chhilo". For my 5-6 year old mind, I couldn't understand how he could be a cricketer because he was always wearing a coat and talking about other people like Javed Miandad and Kapil Dev who wore whites and played on the field.
