Sad to happy, happy to sad
The Indians take a look at Imran Khan’s “biggest achievement” – the Shaukat Khanum Cancer Hospital. Imran reiterated that building the hospital had been the only reason why he had continued playing till the 1992 World Cup. He remembered India’s 1989 tour, Tendulkar’s first, and spoke about the benefit game that the Indians and Pakistanis had played to raise funds. He talked about the number of patients escalating and said they were planning to start another branch at Karachi. He hoped the Indians would like it.
They went in with smiles on their faces and came out pretty sombre. A witness to the scene described the scene aptly – "those who were fit and hearty became sad; those who were really suffering became happy."
