Saqlain Mushtaq, the inventor of the magical ball 'doosra', hailed Sachin Tendulkar and said he is way ahead of any other batter the game has seen.
Sachin vs Saqlain is not a much-talked-about rivalry. However, during a recent interview former Pak spinner revealed a never heard before tale about an on-field banter with Sachin Tendulkar. It was about Saqlain sledging Sachin and the Indian cricketer coming up with an epic reply.
Saqlain is accredited with the invention of " Doosra", a delivery which turns from legside to offside breaking the orthodox spin barrier of Off-spin.
The ace spinner missed the recently concluded series against New Zealand owing to an injury he picked up in the Big Bash League.
Playing in his 102nd ODI here, Mitchell Starc dismissed tail-ender Ryan Burl. He achieved the feat in two fewer matches than the former Pakistani cricketer Saqlain Mushtaq.
In the video we see Babar Azam quite expertly tackling the legendary bowler, while Mushtaq giving his all, pulling out all the stocks he has.
Pakistan coach Saqlain Mushtaq is hopeful that India will reach the final of the T20 World Cup 2021 and meet Pakistan once again.
Mushtaq insisted that the Pakistan team knows the conditions of all three UAE venues very well and are very clear about executing plans for the same.
Pakistan head coach Misbah-ul-Haq and bowling coach Waqar Younis have stepped down from their respective roles, said a release by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Monday.
Mushtaq also admitted that Sehwag must have changed the mindset of many openers across the world with his aggressive brand of cricket.
