In contrast to some of the younger Indian players.

And also professional and respectful to all the players in both teams and down to earth. I am afraid he is one of the last remaining in this Indian set up.

He was first guy to come out and say clearly and unequivocally that the doosra delivery is a pelt and that he pelts his doosra. The elbow has to bend and straighten in order to bowl that delivery.

And since then they started calling guys for pelting who bowl the doosra. In fact, I don't think anyone bowls it at international level these days. They just bowl the arm ball.

We humans are complex humans, e.g. The same Harbajan that was great friends with Morton (RIP) in the heat of the moment suggested that Symonds (RIP) was a monkey. That is why the genuine ones should be cherished.
