Virender Sehwag speaking in a video interview:
"I think we were playing a Test match in Bangalore. I was in very good form in that series"
"I made 201 in the first innings, I was batting and Inzi was standing in the slips, Kamran Akmal was the keeper"
"The batting went on for long so long off, long on, mid wicket were all in place. Danish Kaneria was bowling on the pads"
"So I told Inzi bhai, call the long on up. He asked why, I said I want to hit a six. He laughed and said you're kidding, I said no, I'm not, call him up for a ball and if I don't hit a six, send him back"
"So he called the long on to mid on, Kaneria bowled and I hit a six and then he sent him back"
"Kaneria got really angry saying Inzi bhai, why did you call him up? He replied 'Tu bowl kar' (You just bowl)"
Sachin Tendulkar
"Inzi was very calm, he never got angry"
"We never really talked that much, Inzi anyway talked less. For me a memorable experience was when we were in Pakistan. We had a practice session in Lahore. Their session was finishing and ours was starting"
"Before we began, Inzi brought his son there with him. He said 'He's a big fan, he wants to meet you'. He made me meet his son"
"I still remember, whenever I used to speak with Inzi, he was very respectful. We started out careers at the same time more or less. He started in 91/92 and I started around that period, 89. So we had a good relationship"
"With the kind of rivalry we had, Inzi was the Pakistan captain. To say something like this to a player from the other team takes a lot"
