Mohammad Kaif posts epic response after Nasser Hussain remembers ‘bus driver’ sledge throughout 2002 NatWest ultimate

The ultimate of the 2002 NatWest collection is extensively thought to be one of many biggest chases in ODI historical past. After India have been left in a spot of hassle with 5 wickets down on 146, Yuvraj Singh and Mohammad Kaif stitched an important 121-run partnership to convey the facet again within the sport.

Kaif ultimately remained not out on 87 to steer India to a well-known two-wicket victory.

Nasser Hussain, who was the captain of England on the time, lately recalled the dramatic match at Lord’s. He scored 115 within the ultimate. Remembering the second when Kaif entered the pitch, Hussain recalled that he pointed him out to one in all his teammates and mentioned that he may drive the bus for Tendulkar.

“It was the best innings that lad performed. He shall be remembered for that. I noticed an image of him and Yuvraj with the Lord’s within the background, and he had tweeted, “nice reminiscences”,” started Hussain.

“I bear in mind him coming in and there was a little bit of sledge, as a result of we had them 5 wickets down, and somebody mentioned – ‘who’s this, then skip’. So, I mentioned ‘I believe he may drive the bus, he may drive Tendulkar on the bus’. When he hit the successful run, he gave me that look – ‘not unhealthy for a bus driver!’.”

Hussain seemingly implied that England have been on the highest of their sport after eradicating India’s high batsmen and that Kaif could be a straightforward wicket for them. 

“It is likely one of the most top-five cricket chases, in a pleasant type of manner. As a result of it was accomplished by these two. If it had been accomplished by Tendulkar and Sehwag – it could be like, ‘okay, these two did it once more’. However it was accomplished by two unknown younger lads, and it gave an enormous enhance to Indian cricket,” he additional mentioned.
