Greater Noida: It was an experience of a different kind for Aussie Formula 1 driver Mark Webber as the Red Bull Racing team member took a crack at playing India’s favourite sport, cricket, with Red Bull athlete Gautam Gambhir at Noida International University, on Wednesday.

The two Red Bull athletes faced off on the cricket pitch and enjoyed a short spell of cricket. The game was an exciting fun-filled afternoon with Webber trying to outdo Gambhir, while Gambhir tried to show off his bowling skills as well.

Webber said, “A trip to India is incomplete without the delicious food and a game of cricket. Cricket as a sport requires a lot of concentration and ability, especially under extreme conditions like you have here, and so does Formula One. As an athlete, I am always eager to try my hand at new sports and today’s experience made it worthwhile.”

“It was a rare experience of playing cricket with a Formula One athlete, Mark Webber. I am looking forward to watch the Indian Grand Prix from the race circuit, this weekend, with Webber and Vettel battling it out on the track,” Gambhir commented.
