Former Australia captain Steve Waugh said that he had a culture shock when he came to Mumbai for the first time. Waugh said that he has always been fascinated with how locals in India celebrated cricket.
"Landing in Bombay or Mumbai, as it is now, was a total culture shock, there were just people everywhere, there were cars and bikes and animals and rats and cats running along the footpath and it was just like, where am I? I am in a different world which was just a total shock and a bombardment of the senses," said Waugh in the documentary 'Capturing Cricket: Steve Waugh in India' that is currently streaming on Discovery Plus.
Waugh's first visit to the country for cricket was during Australia's 1986/87 tour of India. He played as an all-rounder at the time and had meagre returns of 59 runs and two wickets in the three Tests he played.
