After the last test at Lord's, the cricket team visited Clarence House. Along with the players and coaching staff, BCCI Honorary Secretary Devajit Saikia was also present.

Another mentioned, 'Chad Shukla ji. Gave a gora a book about the atrocities done by their forefathers."
One more added, 'Wherever it is, Rajiv Shukla is Certain to be there. What kind of magic he knows that he can manage to be everywhere."
