The cricketing great featured in the One World One Family Cup -- a charity match -- held at Bengaluru on Thursday. The game also had former star players like Yuvraj Singh, Irfan Pathan, RP Singh, Yusuf Pathan. Sri Lanka's bowling great Mutthiah Muralitharan was also a part of the contest that had legendary players from other countries too.
