Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar is arguably the best batsman that India has ever produced. Cricketers across the globe were in awe of Sachin during his playing days.
Rivalry between India and Pakistan is considered as the greatest rivalry. While India has produced some of the finest batters the game has ever seen, Pakistan has produced some of the greatest pacers.
Recently, former Pakistan batter Basit Ali has made a blunt admission. Speaking in a video on his YouTube channel, Ali admitted that the Pakistan players were scared of India batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar.
“Sachin Tendulkar was a top order batter and I was a middle order batter, so we used to see his batting. In our team meetings, our captain at that time Wasim Akram used to say everywhere, even during practice, even during meals, ‘dismiss Sachin and we’ll win the match’,” said Ali.
“And soon as Sachin used to get out, Pakistan used to win the match. Even though the great Azharuddin was there, but we were not scared of Azharuddin, but definitely scared of Sachin Tendulkar,” he added.
Notably, Sachin has scored 2526 runs in 67 innings in 69 ODI matches. He has also scored 1057 runs against Pakistan in Test cricket.
