In an interview, Nishant Dayal, their common friend stated;
āHe 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,ā
In spite of Dhoniās sky-rocketing success, Lal didnāt lose touch with him. In fact, he was the one who was even better than Dhoni at this āHelicopter shotā.
Lal took a lot of efforts for making Mahi, master this trademark shot, which makes everyone crazy today.
