Waqar Yunus was shocked and upset
Waqar Younis, who made his international debut with Sachin, was in awe of Sachin’s batting. Waqar said in a Wisden podcast ‘The Greatest Rivalry’, “The first Test was in Karachi and I got him (Sachin) out early. The pitch at Sialkot was a green top wicket in that series. Sachin got hit on the nose early in the innings, I thought what a 16 year old kid would do now but he was very determined.” Waqar further said, Sachin has completed his fifty and at first sight he did not give me the impression that he is going to become the great Sachin Tendulkar. What he did in the years that followed is amazing. At that time I did not know that he would be such a big name in cricket. But he got the price of his hard work.
