Pakistan legend Shoaib Akhtar has dismissed Sachin Tendulkar for a duck in 1999 . Akhtar said it was the first time he had played in cricket history .
As India faces Pakistan, there is a good chance that a new folklore will emerge.Shoaib Akhtar must know it.With his speed, he was often a hit for runs for Indian batters, but he also was a threat to them.The way he demolished India top-order in the Eden Gardens in 1999 is a thing of legends.
In the second innings, he was accused of blocking the field, but Sachin was taking a run and eventually was dismissed.India lost the match by 46 runs.Sachin's wicket was all the more special for Shoaib as he dismissed the batting great for a duck.So, Sachin, being a nice, great guy on the planet Earth, the greatest batsman...I went up to him, looked at him, checked him out, and said, You have no chance against me. In an interview with Michael Vaughan of Telegraph Sport, Akhtar said it was the first time he's played in cricket history.In an interview, he said, The best part was that he got out on the first ball.He was run out of fuel because of me.The Kolkata Stadium needed to be evacuated because of the 70000-80000 people who had to be there.The test match was postponed for two hours the first time the match was postponed.
