"I thought we could do a lot together," he added. That's why I told you (Kohli) to catch the bat of that match. I also have a t-shirt from that match. Which has the signature of both you and me. I also have my t-shirt and my bat. The auction of Tara-Mara bats and gloves etc. could be a huge package for cricket fans. If this is auctioned online for which a huge bid can be made and the proceeds from it will be donated to the fund for the affected people of Corona in India as well as South Africa.
