Five years since the game, Raina recalled his 74-run knock while revealing a clever change in plan from then skipper MS Dhoni.
Anil Kumble remains the only Indian bowler to achieve the feat and only second overall after England’s Jim Laker in 1956 Test against Australia.
Akthar claims that he went looking for Harbhajan Singh in the hotel room after the match but he couldn't find him.
Sehwag had once mentioned that Akhtar had once tried to sledge him during a Test match between India and Pakistan when the batsman was close to 200 and was with Sachin Tendulkar in the middle.
India are currently scheduled to travel to Australia for a blockbuster Test series later this year and Hogg suggested it should be scrapped and Tim Paine's troops should play England instead.
Before that innings, Dravid was going through a rough patch with strings of low scores 6, 33 and 0 in the first two match of the series.
Tendulkar, who made crucial 85 runs in the semifinal at Mohali, was on 23 when Gould ruled him out LBW off Ajmal. But third umpire Billy Bowden, after a review, overturned the decision.
Akhtar took a u-turn from his previous proposal and insisted that he doesn't see cricketing activities taking place for the next year.
The tour where former Indian batsmen Virender Sehwag became the first India to slam a triple hundred and then skipper Rahul Dravid scored a fantastic double hundred was one of the most exciting series in history.
During the India tour of Pakistan in 2003-04, Miandad, who was the coach of Pakistan then, had said that bowlers like Pathan can be found on any street in Pakistan.
Even after 34 years, Miandad's six in Sharjah dominates the rivalry in cricket between India and Pakistan. Miandad slammed a splendid century - 116 not out and led his team to an iconic win in that match.
A PTI source close to PCB confirmed that their last five-year deal included two series against India at home with a contract worth 149 million dollars stating the condition that it was only for India versus Pakistan series.
The India-Pakistan series was originally scheduled in the sixth round of the competition, between July and November 2019, but despite the best efforts of both the boards, it was unable to take place, ICC said in a statement.
Gavaskar, in conversation with former Pakistan cricketer Ramiz Raja on his Youtube channel, expressed that there are more chances of snowfall in Lahore than a bilateral series between the arch-rivals amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Gavaskar explained that the visitors were undone by the manner in which the old ball swung. He admitted that nobody had then seen or heard about the reverse swing until the series in Pakistan.
The Pakistan legend hailed Tendulkar and said that he could read everything because of his sharp eyes, which made him intimidating.
Earlier last week, Kapil Dev had criticised Akhtar's proposal saying that "India doesn't need the money" while also pointing out the risk that players would put themselves in.
In the video, Irfan is seen watching the highlights of the final where he is spotted taking the wicket of Younis Khan with a stunning inswinger.
Owing to the concerns over the rapid spread of the virus, all sporting events have been cancelled across the globe. Yet, Akhtar proposed the idea of an India versus Pakistan game to raise money for the fight against the virus.
Akhtar said India and Pakistan can play either a three-match ODI or a T20I series behind closed doors which can raise millions of dollars of funds to help both the countries in such a desperate time.
