Sachin Tendulkar recalled a narrative about his first Pakistan Test when he was hit on the nostril and the way Javed Miandad tried to sledge him after he was hit on the nostril by a Waqar Younis bouncer.
“My first tour to Pakistan, we have been taking part in the fourth Test, we had drawn the primary three. We have been some 36/4 down within the final innings of the Fourth Test. I used to be hit on the nostril by a Waqar Younis bouncer, I used to be not used to carrying the grill and my face was hit. I broke my nostril and I used to be bleeding,” mentioned Tendulkar at an occasion organized by Infosys.
“Naturally, the sport stopped. The Pakistan gamers realized that this was a vital second. If I had gone, they might have been in a dominating place.
“They wanted to finish the game and they wanted to win. In that buzz around me, Javed Miandad – we all know what a man he can be – he was pointing at me and said, ‘Tera naak toot gaya hai, tere ko hospital jaana padega. (Your nose is broken, you have to go to the hospital).

“I’m glad I didn’t go to the dressing room and continued to bat there. We drew the Test and drew the series which means a lot.”
Tendulkar made his debut for India in 1989 within the Test collection in opposition to Pakistan.
