Comparing Marine Drive to Rani’s necklace, Gavaskar told Wilkins, “We are still waiting for the Kohinoor diamond”.
Understanding the sentence, both commentators laughed, while Gavaskar kept asking Wilkins if he had any special influence on the British government, so he could request the Kohinoor be returned to India.
