Team India bus driver recalls Suresh Raina's kind gesture when his wife was ill

Team India bus driver Jeff Goodwin with cricketer Suresh Raina

The Indian cricket team bus driver on the England tour, Jeff Goodwin has said that he will never forget Suresh Raina's kind gesture a few years ago when his wife was ill.

"This team is the best. Raina, a few years ago in Leeds, gave me his shirt to auction when my wife was ill. I will never forget that," Goodwin told BCCI TV. The Virat Kohli-led Team India will play their first Test at Edgbaston on August 1, and Goodwin said the current crop of Indian cricketers are very friendly. "I like the lads, they are all friendly. They are great to get on with.

In my times, the Australians would be drinking all the time after the game and staying inside the changing room till 2 am in the morning but now, not as much," added Goodwin. "Mr Kohli sits in front and this gentleman here [pointing to Yuzvendra Chahal]calls me an old man," said Goodwin. To this, Chahal replied, "Because you are," and the bunch cracked up!
