Hyderabad: It is not common for cricketers to be inspired by other willow wielders. But it's rare for a fan to be motivated by another enthusiast. This is exactly the case with Shoaib Ali, the die-hard Bangladeshi fan, who is inspired by India's Sudhir Gautam. Nicknamed 'Tiger', the 29-year-old Dhaka resident is in Hyderabad to cheer for his team in their first Test match in India.'
