He said – “The Test was being played in Chennai between India vs Pakistan. There is no better Test than this in Pakistan’s cricket history, it was ranked as the No. 1 Test. In the first innings, I gave Sachin the 1st or 2nd delivery When he came out to bat in the next innings, that was the turning point of the match.”

Saqlain further said – “Sachin didn’t play a single shot for the first 10 overs. He played all my balls that I bowled at him. I tried off-spin, second top-spin, arm-ball. Bowled quick off-breaks, flighted deliveries, played me carefully for 10-12 overs, then started thrashing me.”
