Dubai, 23/2: India vs Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates comes with a kaleidoscope of indelible memories. India’s stunning defence of 125 in 1985. Javed Miandad’s winning last-ball six off Chetan Sharma the following year. Aaqib Javed’s hat-trick of leg befores in 1991. Mohammad Azharuddin’s last-over takedown of Ata-ur-Rehman in 1996.
Of more recent vintage is Shaheen Shah Afridi’s dismissals of Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul within 13 deliveries of the start of the T20 World Cup league match in October 2021. The current skipper was trapped in front off the first ball he faced.
