India kept avoiding Pakistan for any bilateral series for 10 years and finally agreed to play in 1999. Wasim & Waqar's career were already at downward hill but Shoaib and Saqlain were brilliant in this series.
I remember watching this match here in Sri Lanka back then. Watching Saqlain single handedly win that match was so satisfying. A proud day for Pakistan
Saqlain invented "Dusra" that time which bluffed many batsmen...and Dravid was not that Dravid which he known for now....he was still to establish himself at a bigger level which he did after the 2001 aus tour of Ind series
@@Ooty7 Abe laude...2004 mai so called zaatu mustaq ka career kisne finished Kiya tha...go check history,he was only relied on dusra.pel pel ke mara tha Sehwag ne use...
Saqlain stunned our crowd , Tendulkar’s wicket is hurting even today when we see this Super spell by the way it was by saqlain Even india loose that match but the competition , fight, emotions are priceless then
I was right there at the stadium watching this match, Had sachin controlled his temptation for another 15 min india would have won this match, heartbreaking for the fans. Still fans were applauding for pakistanis that is chennai fans for you
Saqlain will always be known among the best spinners cricket ever witnessed. He was so passionate with his bowling, a great role model for budding cricketers in any era.
Lol I am 80s kid and an Indian, watching this videos again and again and watching how great batsmen dancing on their front foot giving me an idea what it takes to bat against Saqlain and what a great bowler and bowlers has been passed in our decades. esp That ball to Dravid was very intelligently thought by Saqlain and its a beauty, Rahul is a busy man after all. (edit)
It’s hard to believe it was almost quarter of century ago.. I was in 12 th grade in a boarding school.we friends stole the key of TV rooms and watched this , bunking classes. Great memories, great cricket.
My favourite spin bowler after SK Warne. He had incredible accuracy and could generate a lot of turn, but it was his tactics that I remember - he was always putting the batsman under pressure with every delivery. Top player.
Today's players are honest with their work and the sport. M Rizwan as a keeper would never even claim a catch like the one Moin Khan did to get Ganguly out, even if there's no camera around and I believe that's more important than winning the game.
*Legend off spin bowlers ek se badh kar ek dekhe E.prasanna se lekar murltharan tak ,magar saqlain jaisa clean bowling action nahi dekh...normal off spin ho,doosra ho ya teesra , zabardast clean action ke saath dominate kiya saqlain mushtaq ne*
Going by sunil gawaskar, s stupid remarks against shane warne,saqlain mushtaq must b greatest spinner ever as he took 4 consecutive five wickets hauls against India in two tests.
What a spin bowler saqlain mushtaq was.his presence in pakistani team equal importance like a fast bowler.every over of saqlain mushtaq was intersting and manover bowling.unforgetable memories.
Public only knows about pakistani fast,swing,dangerous bowlers but saqlain twisted their mind with his magical spin and most important is taking wicket of master of cricket for duck means hats off and standing ovation and salute 🫡 is also not enough. I think everyone in stadium was speechless and shocked on the wicket of sachin on duck.
At that time kargil war was going on.even though both the countries kept high sportsmanship it doesn't seem like they are having war on borders.but today no war is going on but they are not playing each other especially test matches.if they play test matches then it will be father of the ashes for sure
Iconic match. Back then it was all about Sachin Tendulkar. he is gone then indian team is gone. What a player he was. what a team pakistan had that time.
Are you nuts ¿ next year same batting line Rahul and vvs laxman won india the epic series against mighty invincible australian when india had to face follow on and indian batting pulled off the whole series still member vv laxman 287 rahul 187 ..
281 was a tukka? Lol that is the worst take ever... Sachin got out way before that partnership even started in the second match. I'd laxman and dravid didn't stitch that remarkable partnership that series would have been lost by then
@@Gk.650 if saqlain played matches like murli then his wickets were more then one thousand so don't waste your time in jealousy 😜💕 but you are from India so you can say like this don't waste your time and listen murli about saqlian and Steve Waugh said saqlain is spin blowing doctor jeete Raho mere jealous Bhai ummaahh 😂😆😂😂😆😆😆😂😂😆😂😆😂😆😂😆😂😆😆😂😆😂😆😂😆😂😂😆😂😆😆😂😆😆😂😆😆😂😆😂😆😂😆😂😆😆😂😆😆😂😂😆😂😂😂😂
Great Old Memories This Time Pakistani Very Dangerous Team Bohat He Panta Lagaya India Ko Odi Mein Aur Test Mein Ham Ne Pakistan 🇵🇰 Zindabad Ham Hai India 🇮🇳 Kay Baap
O ..my days....what an spell...by saki...before I used to hate him for Karachi defeat of 1997 ..I was there as a yong kid and watching Pakistan lose at NS Karachi was heart-wrenching...
The only reason for Pakistan struggling in international cricket for last few years is its political instability. Otherwise their is no question about their cricketing talent.
People keep saying Sehwag destroyed him etc..he did but Saqlain was already past his best at that point and his knees were gone. Sehwag did not face a peak Saqlain.
