“Even when you were 16, you battled the world’s best bowlers with guts and aplomb… so I am sure you will hit Covid-19 for a SIX! Recover soon master! Would be great if you celebrate India’s World Cup 2011 anniversary with doctors and hospital staff… do send me a pic,” Akram tweeted.
Tendulkar shared the news that he was hospitalized on April 2, 2021.A decade before on this day India won the 2011 World Cup and Sachin Tendulkar emerged the second-highest run-scorer after Tillakaratne Dilshan, Sri Lanka cricketer.
Akram and Tendulkar faced each other in high-profile India-Pakistan clashes in the 1990s and early 2000s. Akram and Tendulkar battle each other only in seven Tests during the 14 years. Akram bowled to Tendulkar during his debut series in 1989 and after that during Pakistan’s tour of India in 1999. In ODIs, Akram and Tendulkar faced each other number of times, including the 1999 and 2003 World Cup matches.
Akram took retirement after the 2003 World Cup and Tendulkar took retirement from all formats of cricket in 2013.
Akram, in an interview with former Pakistan teammate Basit Ali, stated that he rated Tendulkar on the fifth rank in his list of top batsmen, after Viv Richards, Martin Crowe, Brian Lara, and Inzamam-Ul-Haq. “I am keeping Tendulkar aside from this list because we didn’t play Test cricket against him for 10 years. Waqar and I didn’t bowl to him for ten years in Test matches. He came to Pakistan in 1989 as a 16-year-old and after that, we played against him in 1999,” Akram had said.
