'On October 17th, 2006,, the day before the West Indies [Images] beat Australia by 10 runs, the Australian cricket team were spotted at the Taj Hotel in Mumbai. Even though Ricky Ponting [Images] was getting late for practice, he waited to click a picture with me. He was nice to answer a few questions I asked him. Very nice chap. He really has a winning personality,' writes Rup.

Thanks Rup for sharing the photograph!
