The first game I played here was when I was 11 and a half years old. I'm 32 now, so a lot has changed. But the feeling for me as an 11 year old boy who came here first time, played a game. But that feeling for me hasn't changed, I still remember that feeling so many years later as well. So, yeah, it's always special to come back home. From the time you leave the dressing room and walk out to the middle, there's so many emotions that go through you, so many memories that come back" said KL Rahul
