The right-handed batsman said that he and his teammates were talking to each other, discussing if they will be able to watch Usain Bolt run on August 14 as they will be travelling. He said, “We were just discussing this. Our team will be travelling on 14th and on the same date, Usain Bolt will be making his first appearance in Olympics.
