Formula One driver Mark Webber left aside his racing gears to play cricket with Indian opener Gautam Gambhir.
 
 
Expressing his excitement, the 26-year-old 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 hand-eye coordination, especially under extreme conditions, and so does Formula One."
 
 
Gambhir bowled a few balls to Webber at the Noida International University.
 
 
The Red Bull driver is presently at fifth position on the 2012 Formula One Drivers' Standings and his team mate Sebastian Vettal is at top with 215 points.
 

The driver also said, his country has "utmost respect" for the "incredible" Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar.

 

"Sachin Tendulkar has just been an incredible cricketer and one of the most amazing sportspersons the world has seen. Australians have utmost respect for him. The government, the people, everyone respects him," the Red Bull driver Webber, said
