The batsman went on to post the picture on his Instagram account and praised the legend's hospitality. He though wasn't willing to comply with 'the request'.

"Thanks for the invite and hospitality at your home, thanks also for the books. The boss wants me to score a 100 and India win but I would take the win rather than the 100," the West Indian wrote on his Instagram account.
