Asked if Anil was prepared to face Muralitharan’s ‘doosras’, he told IANS: “Yes, I am ready. I will be nervous but since I am an actor I will not let it show on my face. I will keep a calm outlook.”

Any preparations for the cricket match?

“I don’t need any preparation. I am a good cricketer,” said the actor.

Anil was at his joyful best at the event and got along well with Muralitharan. He even tried to mimic the cricketer’s bowling actions and expressions.
