1/3
People often ask why I seem so ‘pro’ India.
Answer is simple: in over 20 years and dozens of trips, I have NEVER once faced disrespect, negativity, backstabbing or bad energy there.
Not once!
Only love, kindness, loyalty, warmth and respect — every single time.
2/3
I’ve made lifelong friendships there that I treasure. Friends who became family. Brothers for life.
I know respect has to be earned — and I like to think I earned mine by producing the goods on the cricket field year after year, giving my everything! Whether it was against India or for an IPL team.
3/3
When a country and its people give you nothing but pure positive energy your entire adult life, that love gets returned tenfold.
India gave me its heart first.
So India will always have mine.
Forever grateful. KP ❤️
