Saeed Ajmal Recalls Dismissing Sachin Tendulkar, Shares Tendulkar’s Advice on Bowling
Former Pakistani cricketer Saeed Ajmal has expressed his immense joy at dismissing legendary batsman Sachin Tendulkar in international matches. Speaking at the launch of the GloFans High School Cricket Cup, Ajmal hailed Tendulkar as a “great cricketer” and a “legend.”
“Sachin is the most honest and kind person in the world,” Ajmal said. “He is worthy of the title ‘Sir.’ I have played with him, and it is an honor for me. Getting him out was a moment of happiness that I will always cherish.”
Ajmal revealed that Tendulkar once gave him valuable advice on how to dismiss former English batsman Kevin Pietersen. “He told me to bowl the doosra to get Pietersen out,” Ajmal recalled. “I followed his advice and succeeded. He was very happy.”
Tendulkar’s respect for his opponents extended beyond the field, according to Ajmal. “He told me that after I took four wickets in four overs, I shouldn’t finish the match too early,” Ajmal said. “He has always respected us. He is a very good man.”
Ajmal’s admiration for Tendulkar is a testament to the latter’s greatness both on and off the field. Tendulkar’s humility, sportsmanship, and exceptional cricketing skills have earned him the respect and admiration of players and fans alike.
