"He was so kind and so generous and had such lovely conversations with us. He seemed very kind and we did not expect that he would be watching the match, he said he watched bits and pieces of the last session that we played. It was a great experience; we were very grateful for the experience," Gill said in a video shared by BCCI on X.
