I couldn't even think about owning a pair of shoes that expensive. How could I wear shoes that cost Rs 12,000-15,000? The shoes bought off the roadside for Rs 200-300 wore out soon. The sole would tear. Without spikes, my foot kept slipping and my ankles got sprained many times," Hussain said.Also Read - Ishan Kishan Brushed Aside In SRH Dressing Room, Other Players Roll On The FloorBut when Ishan Kishan got to know of Hussain’s hardships, he immediately stepped in.
