Abdul Razzaq troubled Sachin Tendulkar

Karachi: Former India captain Sachin Tendulkar is one of the greatest players of cricket. Tendulkar holds the record for most runs and centuries in Test and ODI cricket. The master blaster had the ability to blast any bowler. Whatever the field, Tendulkar’s batting power spoke everywhere. However, there were a few bowlers who managed to trouble Tendulkar.

Whenever it is considered that which bowlers got Sachin Tendulkar out the most times, the name of Brett Lee, James Anderson, Glenn McGrath comes first. However, there was one such medium fast bowler, who troubled the great Indian batsman many times and got out 6 times in one-day international cricket.

We are talking here about former Pakistan all-rounder Abdul Razzaq. Razzaq recently revealed what is the real reason behind his success against Sachin Tendulkar. The 41-year-old former Pakistan all-rounder said that he used to bowl in-swing and reverse swing balls, which were very difficult to play.

Talking to Geo News about his success against Sachin Tendulkar, Razzaq said, “Simply when you bowl such balls in international cricket, which are impossible to play, you are sure to get success. Otherwise, normal bowlers don’t get swing. He doesn’t use yorkers properly and doesn’t make an impact.

I love playing in tough conditions: Abdul Razzaq

Razzaq said, ‘Initially I used to use in-swing and reverse swing very well. You can’t call it a batsman’s weakness. You can call it a good ball. There used to be a possibility that something else was going on in Tendulkar’s mind, perhaps he was expecting out swing.

Razzaq has won many matches for Pakistan with the ball and the bat. When the all-rounder was asked what do you like more about batting or bowling, Razzaq replied that he liked to play in pressure conditions. Razzaq said, ‘I was an observer and used to enjoy playing in trapped conditions. I loved bowling and batting under pressure conditions.
