Sledging is one of the tactics used by bowlers when they are unable to take wickets despite bowling well. Sledging is the method of taunting or provoking the batsman to lose his concentration and thus take a wicket. Now Pakistan’s former fast bowler Navedul Hasan has revealed about the wicket of India’s former legend Virender Sehwag through this method. Hasan’s revelation was in an interview given to a Pakistani YouTuber named Nadir Ali.
“We are playing an ODI against India. Sehwag stands at the crease with 85 runs. It was the series in which Shahid Afridi scored a century. India are leading 2-0 after winning the first two games of the five-match series. It was the decisive third game. Pakistan were under pressure to lose the series if they lost.
In the third ODI, Sehwag showed very aggressive batting. India’s progress was such that they would score at least 300 runs. All the bowlers in our team got a good knock from him. That’s when I asked Inzamamul Haq, the then Pakistan captain, to bowl one over. Of course you also throw, everyone is beaten. If you want to bowl, give it a try, Insi said.
The first thing I knew against Sehwag was a slow bouncer. He could not connect it. I went to Sehwag and said that you don’t know how to play and I don’t think you will even make it to the national team if you are in Pakistan. I was able to warm up Sehwag.
I tried another slow ball. An enraged Sehwag hit a huge shot and was bowled. That wicket was very important’. Hasan also said that Pakistan won that match.
