Imran Khan was one of those skippers who never feared anything. For him win or loss was part of the game but the players should find till the last moment. This was the motto for Imran and his side. Imran never even feared to call the batsman to bat again.
Once he called back the Indian opener Srikant who was given out lbw. Srikant was not happy as he indicated to the umpire that he hit the ball. The umpire did not alter his decision then Imran showed up and asked the Indian batter to bat again. Imran knew what he was doing.
Srikant went to bat again and on the very next ball he was out again. This time he edged the ball to the wicket keeper and that was the end of his innings. This was a remarkable game play from Imran and his team. Such incident has never happened in test cricket again.
In the list of world class players and captains Imran Khan holds an important place. He was one of the best captains in the world of cricket and many legends of the name have always named him as their captain for the best eleven side in the world.
Here we see how good was as a captain. Pakistan was playing a match against their arch rivals India. Srikant was batsman and Waqar Younis was the bowler. Waqar came charging in and hit an in swinger. This was a beautiful ball from Waqar Younis.
The ball went straight in and hit the pads. This was a close call for LBW. Waqar Younis made a huge appeal and the umpire raised his finger. Now Srikant went all too emotional. He showed the bat to the umpire that he has nicked it.
Now the umpire did not change his decision and Srikant was walking back to the hutch. That was the time when Imran Khan made a grand entry. He called back the Indian opener and asked him to bat again. Now that hardly had happened before. The batsman was called back in such a way. Now Srikant was back to the crease and on the very next ball Waqar Younis took the outside edge of his bat and Srikant this time put his head down and walked out of the ground.
