Digital Desk: The most popular sport in India is cricket, and cricket players have special status there. Cricket players are followed everywhere they go by their fans, who are eager to take pictures of them. But, there are times when cricketers aren't prepared to spend time with fans. One similar occurrence occurred on Thursday in Mumbai (February 16).
