by Anyone who is remotely connected to Sachin and willing to be
interviewed seems to be on TV today.
One such person was Abdul Qadir.
He spoke about how Sachin was a kid when he bowled to him and no one
seemed to be encouraging Sachin in that match. So he thought he should
do it himself. He then went upto Sachin and told him that he should hit
a six in Qadir's next over as it was an exhibition match. Qadir stopped
short of saying that he bowled in way to let him hit six.
Then he finished the story.
"Sachin did not hit a single six. He hit two. *Then his catch was
dropped*<pause>. Then he hit 3 more."
Thanks to Qadir for letting Sachin hit the sixers and boosting his
confidence. And all his fans are indebted to the fielder who dropped
his catch, of course to boost his confidence.
