Virender Sehwag reveals Waqar Younis’ failed ploy to deny Anil Kumble 10/74 feat

Virender Sehwag has a special liking for Pakistan cricket team and their players. Not only has he enjoyed scoring a triple hundred on their soil, but he often baffles them with friendly banter on social media.

On the 18th anniversary of Anil Kumble’s historic 10 for 74 haul in an innings against Pakistan at the Feroze Shah Kotla, Sehwag, however, was in a different mood. Leaving aside his usual tongue-in-cheek tone, Sehwag was all praise for former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram.

Along came a revelation, about how Waqar Younis wanted to run out himself in the second innings of the Kotla Test so that Kumble can never achieve the 10-for figures in one innings. But thanks to Akram’s honesty, Younis could never employ the



trick.
