New Delhi: The Indian team coach Ravi Shastri in his new book ‘Stargazing: The players in my life’ have given Prime Minister Prime Minister of Cricket Pakistan Imran Khan as one of the ‘biggest captain ever seen’.
Shastri also shared an interesting anecdote from the competition in the field that occurred between the two in 1987.
“Imran Khan is one of the captains and the biggest players who have seen the game.
Why did I hold this view hardly need qualification.
The note is talking about itself and if Validated further needed, it comes from their experience playing or fighting it, “Shastri wrote.
Khan played 88 test matches, 126 Inning and scored 3.807 running at an average of 37.69, including six centuries and 18 years fifties.
The highest score was 136.
As a bowler, he took 362 goals in the Cricket test, which made him the first Pakistan and the world’s fourth bowler to do so.
Shastri further said that the first time he saw Imran Play on TV in 1978.
“When India toured Pakistan.
He then made a sign as one of the complete all-round in the cricket after the start which was rather slow for his career.” When Pakistan came to India the following season, I made sure to get a place at the North Stand at Wankhede Stadium.
Imran’s strength is an extraordinary control over the swing swing and backward.
The swingers are late steep or ‘indep’ when they are called later, make hell life for Batsmen, “he wrote.
Told his first meeting with the current Pakistani PM, Shastri wrote,” In 1987, when I led Under-25 teams against Pakistan, Imran arrived late to the stadium for the match.
He apologized, said he was stuck in traffic.
Fair enough, but he wants to go bowling immediately, which I disagree because this opposes the rules.
Feeling the referee hesitated, I told them to take care of their own business and go with a book.
Imran’s message to Wasim Akram and another Bowler in the game is to get up from me.
“Sometimes later, when we played Pakistan in Sharjah, suddenly I experienced a stomach cramp while hitting and asked the runner.
Imran refused.
We were 100 something without losing it at that time.
I fell in several shipments, Gawi began to fall and we continued To lose a 240-strange pursuit game.
“Imran did not forget what I had done to him before and was paid back in the form of goods.
But while he played it very hard, he left the contest in the field.
Remove, he is friendly but provided, keeping almost himself.
“Shastri said many Imran’s thoughts to” be alone and arrogant; I think he was reserved, and not someone to socialize easily “.” Among the four great people of the era, Imran is the best batsman, technically and temperament, according to the situation that is required, “he added.
