Shoaib Akhtar Revealed That He Wanted To Cause A Serious Injury To Sachin Tendulkar – The India-Pakistan rivalry has created countless unforgettable games and moments. The enthusiasm among the fans remains quite high amidst the ongoing India vs. Pakistan match in the 2023 Asia Cup. However, an old video of former Pakistani bowler Shoaib Akhtar has left many shocked.

Well, a video of Akhtar has gone viral on the internet, wherein he could be heard boasting about his deliberate attempt to cause a serious injury to legendary Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar.

Shoaib Akhtar Revealed That He Wanted To Kill Sachin Tendulkar

Akhtar earned the nickname of Rawalpindi Express for his lethal pace bowling. His faceoff with Sachin Tendulkar on the field was worth watching and is still remembered. However, this old video has left a bitter taste in the fans. In the old video, Akhtar can be seen revealing a shocking anecdote from the past. Recalling the incident, Akhtar said:

“I want to reveal this today that I really wanted to injure Sachin in that match…I was determined to hurt Sachin at any cost in that match…And I kept at it although Inzamam-ul-Haq asked to bowl in front of the wickets,”

Without any visible signs of remorse, he continued: “So I deliberately hit on his helmet and even thought that he (Sachin) would be dead…I saw the replay and found that the ball hit on his forehead…I then tried to injure him again.”

For the unversed, Akhtar was talking about the infamous 3rd Test match played between India and Pakistan at the National Stadium in 2006.

However, this isn’t the first time that Shoaib Akhtar has confessed to deliberately hurting Indian players during a cricket match. In an interview in 2021, Akhtar revealed that he intentionally bowled a ‘deadly beamer’ to MS Dhoni during the Faisalabad Test match between India and Pakistan in 2006. He had said:

“I had made the same mistake with Dhoni in Faisalabad. I had thrown a beamer at him intentionally. Dhoni is such a nice guy and I respect him. I felt very bad about it. Yes, he is a good player who hit me for a few runs. Why did I decide to attack him (with a beamer)? If the ball would have hit Dhoni, he would have been grievously hurt (do-teen-paanch) in 2005 itself.”
