"I met them [Shubman and Ishan]. I shook hands with everyone. Next thing I know, Shubman scored a double century. So the story doesn't end here," Bobby Deol told The Hollywood Reporter's Anupama Chopra.

"Last year I was in London and I was outside my hotel and suddenly I see Shubman walking. I just shook hands with him. I said you are doing really good and all the best. Next thing he knows he scores a double century again," he added.
