Our match in Durban was with Mumbai Indians. A teammate came to me before the match. He has known me since childhood. At that time, I was bowling well, seeing that he told me that if I take the wicket of Sachin, he will give me a special gift.
"Then I told him that if I took the wicket of Sachin Paji, I want a watch as a gift. He knew that I was fond of watches. This happened the next day too. I got the wicket of Sachin Paji. The team owner kept his promise and gifted me the watch. In this match, Pragyan performed brilliantly and also gave Deccan Chargers a win of 12 runs. He has been part of the dressing room with Sachin for a long time in the Mumbai Indians team. Even the test series of Sachin's retirement proved to be the last for Pragyan Ojha.
