The batting maestro also thanked the media for the support over the years and stressed: “There were occasions when I stumbled. I fell down, but this beautiful sport taught me to get back up again and move forward. But to move forward you [media] provided that fuel. On an empty fuel tank I do not think I would have covered the distance that I did,” he said.
