'At first, I thought it was a lookalike because I couldn't believe he was on the flight to Chennai,' Radhika recalled. 'I asked him, 'I'm sure I'm talking to Virat, right?' and he confirmed it. Then I asked, 'Why are you going to Chennai?' He mentioned there was a test match, and I told him, 'We are all great fans of you, and we really love you.''
