00:00When he was coming to Pakistan in 1989, I was 21 years old and Waqar was 20 years old.
00:08We were very fast and we knew that a 16-year-old boy was coming, who was very special.
00:15So we thought, how young will this 16-year-old boy be?
00:18When he came, he looked like a 14-year-old boy. He looked very young.
00:25In the first match, he didn't score a goal.
00:30In the second match, he didn't score a goal.
00:32In the fourth match, there was a match in Sialkot.
00:34There was a lot of grass in that wicket.
00:36I think in the second inning, I bounced it and it hit under his chin.
00:40He had a cut under his chin.
00:42I said, he will go out. He was a young boy. What will he do?
00:45But at that time, I think he put the tape and scored 50 in that wicket.
00:49In that wicket, it was me, Waqar, Zakir and Imran Khan.
00:53Then, as a bowler, I realized that this kid will become a very big player in the future.
