The 57-year old recalled how the Pakistan batsman wanted to hit him with his willow, following the incident.

Reflecting over the incident, Kiran More recalled that he tried to ruffle Saleem Malik and trie provoke him with a comical jibe in the latter’s native language. Saleem Malik was not amused and walked towards More to hit him with his bat.

I said a very nasty word in Punjabi: Kiran More

This was the same game where the likes of Sachin Tendulkar and Waqar Younis made their international debuts. Speaking of sledging incidents during India-Pakistan clashes, Kiran More also recollected an incident from a Test match at Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium which, incidentally, was also Javed Miandad’s 100th Test.

Javed Miandad, in fact, went on to score a fabulous knock of 145 in that encounter but couldn’t ensure a victory for Pakistan as the match ended all square.
