Alison Mitchell, who is radio presenter with Australia's ABC, narrated a heartwarming story about the Indian taxi driver while she was in a conversation with former Australia speedster Mitchell Johnson and told him how stoked the taxi driver was after he got the opportunity to have dinner with the five Pakistani cricketers.

During the ride, the cabbie told her about the kind gesture by the Pakistani players. He also showed her a photo of him along with the cricketers from the restaurant.
