Bhubaneswar: Muthiah Muralidharan, the magician of spin bowling, and his teammates called on Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik at Naveen Niwas on Sunday evening.

The CM interacted with players and support staff, and presented them Odisha T-shirts.

“It was a pleasure interacting with the players and management of @llct20. Encouraged them to explore #Odisha’s treasure trove of natural beauty and heritage. Wished the teams all the very best for their upcoming matches,” the CM tweeted and shared some pictures.
