The batsman said that his salary was just Rs5,000 during those days and he was confused what he would do with the prize money.
Later, he decided to go for buying a motorcycle, Honda 125. He said that he had an old Yamaha motorcycle but he could not find it one day after he returned home from playing another tournament.
Ali said that he asked his elder brother about the Yamaha motorcycle to which he had responded to him that he sold it to the scrap dealer for Rs5,000.
He said the interviewer that the Yamaha had been purchased by his grandfather and at that time, people from neighbouring villages would visit to see the motorcycle. He added that the old motorcycle was a pride for the family and it was very difficult to buy one during those days.
