In an interview, Nishant Dayal, their common friend stated;
“He and Dhoni were the best of friends since childhood. They would play tennis ball games endlessly. They both worked for Railways. Santosh was fearless as a batsman,”
In spite of Dhoni’s sky-rocketing success, Lal didn’t lose touch with him. In fact, he was the one who was even better than Dhoni at this ‘Helicopter shot’.
Lal took a lot of efforts for making Mahi, master this trademark shot, which makes everyone crazy today.
