Test cricket: 'When despair turned into a memorable win What is the most memorable moment in the history of Pakistani cricket? The simple answer to this question is the 1992 World Cup.
The next two big victories were the 2009 T20 World Cup and the Champions Trophy in 2017.
But it is difficult to decide which is Pakistan's most memorable win in Test cricket? The reason is that each win has its own unique style.
One such win was in March 1987 in Pakistan's Test match played in Bangalore. The win brought many ups and downs but the result was that Pakistan won the first Test series on the Indian soil for the first time on a dramatic 16-run win. Iqbal Qasim and Taseev Ahmad were the heroes of this victory.
Iqbal Qasim remembers this victory so specially that he was going through a difficult period of his career and even thought that maybe his career was over.
Iqbal Qasim echoing old memories, saying that I was not on the visiting Pakistan team, but before the third test in Jaipur, the selection committee decided to send me to India.
"I was not very successful in the Jaipur and Ahmedabad Test matches, which I was very disappointed with and I was convinced that I would not play in the Bangalore Test. One reason was the Bangalore green wicket and the other reason. Imran Khan didn't have to trust me. '
"I went to Imran Khan and told him that you will only play fast bowlers on the green wicket and play Taseev Ahmed as the sole sniper so I think my career is over, but if my benefit is match. In this you must play me, which Imran Khan has supported. Saying this, I got out of the room, but what do I know what the power had to do with me
How did the wicket deceive everyone?
Iqbal Qasim says Bangalore's wicket has been deceived by everyone. Imran Khan, looking at the grass on the wicket, decided to play fast bowler Saleem Jafar who could not even get one over in the entire match.
Iqbal Qasim remembers the moment when he found out that the wicket was something from the outside and something else from the inside.
“When the team was practicing, I and Taseev Ahmed stopped near the wicket, although wickets were not allowed to touch, but when I kept my hands on the wicket while keeping my eyes on the ground staff, it was lightly hit from inside. I was surprised to tell Taseev Ahmed that fake wicket was put on this wicket, the match would end on the third day. It is not the job of fast bowlers. '
The trouble was that if I told the captain or manager something about it, they would think that I was justifying myself to play. We also told Javed Miandad. I was surprised when Imran Khan called me a few moments before the toss and said that you were playing this match.
Iqbal Qasim says that there was a rest day three days after the test match, a ceremony was held in honor of the Pakistani team at the hotel.
Before me and Taseev Ahmed got there before the ceremony started, former sniper Bishan Singh Bedi was present with whom I had a good chat.
When the conversation started, I told him that your disciple Maninder Singh had bowled to Kamal, to which Bedi Sahib angrily said, What has he done is he is trying to break the ball excessively while the wicket. This is something that normal spin should do because the ball is already breaking too much, if you apply too much force, it will spin far away from the batsmen who will not benefit.
Bedi Sahib did not give us any regular advice, but he said it in simplicity and in structure, but he did not think that he had told us of the success which we had tried on his team and had just returned.
What happened in this match?
Pakistan won the toss and batted first, but the entire team was dismissed for only 116 runs, with the highest individual score being Saleem Malik's 33.
Left-arm sniper Maninder Singh took seven wickets for just 27 runs. India scored 146 runs in their first innings. Iqbal Qasim, 48, and Taufiq Ahmed took 54, five, five wickets.
The Pakistani team was out for 249 in the second innings, Ravi Shastri took four and Maninder Singh took three wickets.
India had a target of 221 for the win, but four wickets for Iqbal Qasim and Taseev Ahmed stopped their steps at 204 runs. Not only did Iqbal Qasim show the path of Pavilion to Gavaskar, who scored 96, but also took extraordinary catches from Ravi Shastri and Azharuddin on their own balls.
Pakistan won this Test match. Nine wickets were won by Iqbal Qasim and Taseev Ahmed but surprisingly the Man of the Match award was given to Sunil Gavaskar.
The next two big victories were the 2009 T20 World Cup and the Champions Trophy in 2017.
