[vivekp.]

Azzu bhai ki batting dekhne school se bunk kar ke gaye hum log back in 1988…what a beautiful batsman

[geethaachar]

The greatest moment in Indian cricket history was given by Venkatesh Prasad!

1996 around during this match there was power cuts in evening times, i was 9 years kid watching match interestingly with my uncles,
Suddenly power cut, and they taken black and white TV, i was carrying steplizer ran to other colony where power was there...

How crazy of watching 50 over matches interestingly.... So memorable

[Truthloverever]

That uprise collar of Azhar, an iconic style followed by many kids and youth of 90s!

I have been watching cricket since 1983. Irrespective of what has happened, for me if a best ever Indian team is selected in any format Md Azharuddin will be an automatic choice in the middle order. There was a very true saying in those days that, if you watch Azhar playing in full form for 2 hours then you don't need to watch cricket for the next 2 years.

Azhar was Emotion in The Way he belted Lance Klusener at Kolkata and Capetown was 5 Centuries in Eden Gardens ... And 3 back to back centuries in England in Consecutive Test Matches.

That 96'World Cup match gave goosebumps, as a kid, and still gives. At that time, India, more often than not, used to lose to Pakistan. '92, '96, '99 (under Azzu's captaincy), '03 World Cup matches were the most nervous and most memorable matches, as Pakistan used to have stronger teams than India, and India used to heavily rely on Sachin's batting. Then India's middle-order slowly became stronger after Dhoni's and Yuvraj's arrival at No. 5 and No.6, and every batsman in the Indian team started regularly contributing with the bat.

[sheshitkarthikeya]

As a hyderabadi it's a treat to watch Azhar...with the raised collar and the hyderabadi slang

[Subramaniam-jk]

I saw the match live and it is memorable as india won by 39 runs

[drashdoctor]

Azhar Bhaai was a fantastic captain . Terrific fielder, elegance personified batsman.. He played with passion that's for sure. Only people who watched live during the 90's will accept

[smarajitpunaykanti]

Watching it 3rd time . Cant get over school memories

[bharatvarsha]

azhar's wrist, i have never seen any batsman like him, laxman came close to him..great batsman..wish he's not involved in match fixing, else he's a legend of Indian cricket

[gautamsworld]

Manjrekar the most unnoticed cricketer and the most noticed commentator

[mohanisharma]

अजहरुद्दीन मेरे फेवरेट अब तक सबसे बड़ा हाथ वाला खिलाडी, , , पहला केप्टन कुल, , , टीम इंडिया का, , ,

[xyzw]

Azhar jaisa stylish Strokeplayer bahot kam huye hai... Great batsman

[bhavyaprakash]

Plz bring more interviews like that.. even time fly in all interview you never know.. awesome all.👌👌👌

[ManojJanardhan]

was a big fan of Azhar and Mark waugh 🥰 when I started watching cricket

[vyseerx]

All 3 different individuals, have shown us how success changes lives. Sanjay was hailed as the next Gavaskar, dubbed as the most difficult batsman to be dismissed by none other than Imran khan after his majestic double hundred against Pakistan, in Pakistan. However, too much obsessed with technique - he could not score runs in ODI s, dropped from the ODI team and lost his place in Test team as well. Venky, started as a fierce fast bowler who does not eat meat - and does not have the strength and stamina to bowl longer spells and after initial success intake made with fellow pacer Srinath, could not get wickets and disappeared. And Azharuddin, started as a wonder boy with 3 consecutive centuries against visiting English team, promoted as hard working poor Muslim boy to scale new heights, started modeling, married a Dubai shark’s daughter, ditched her for a Hindu model, and then fixed matches ! ( ‘ mainey match banaaya” - in his own words in front of chandrachud committe) and banned for life !! What an epic fall for otherwise extremely successful, magician with bat and a genial person. Never let success gets to your head or else …
