The exclusive Rendezvous session was curated by Manish Tiwari, founder of Here and Now 365. Tiwari introduced him warmly as “Steve Da,” a name given by children at Kolkata’s Udayan home. Waugh spoke about his cricketing journey, his strong bond with India, and his passion for photography. He also highlighted cricket’s future, mentioning China’s efforts to qualify for the 2028 Olympics. He said, “The Iceman” nickname came from his calm focus.
