Mumbai: Fans will not forget the Multan Test on India’s tour of Pakistan in 2004. Virender Sehwag scored a triple century (309). But it was another event that caught more attention than that. Sachin Tendulkar declared the innings at 194. Interim captain Rahul Dravid has decided to declare the innings. Tendulkar later revealed that he was disappointed with the decision.
Former Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh is talking about it now. Tendulkar was the outfield batsman at the end of the day. According to Yuvraj, Tendulkar was instructed to play fast. In the words of the former Indian all-rounder … ” We got the message to play fast during the innings. Tendulkar could have completed a double century if he had got another over. 8-10 overs were bowled after the declaration. I don’t think there would have been any difference in the result if it had taken two more overs, ”Yuvraj said.
Tendulkar described the incident in his autobiography. That was it … ” Dravid had spoken to me about this. I was still upset. I asked Dravid why there was a declaration at that time. I was batting well. I scored 194 runs. That is my personal contribution to the team. So it makes no sense to say that the team matters, ”Tendulkar explained in his autobiography.
Dravid had his own side. Dravid, who is also the Indian coach, describes the declaration in the Multan Test … ” Every time I was asked about the declaration in the Multan Test, I would have become a millionaire. We played together for 16 years. There have been disagreements and disagreements in the meantime. ” This was Dravid’s view.
