Mr. Nags asked him,
“You once said you don’t have any friends in the IPL. So… are you friends with Virat or not?”

“At first, no. Just teammates.”
Then when Mr. Nags asked again, Salt said,
“Everyone I’ve played with is my friend.”
It was all fun and jokes!
At the end of the interview, Mr. Nags pretended to get angry and stormed off – but don’t worry, it was just for laughs!
