New Delhi: Exactly 25
years have passed today since Javed Miandad smashed Chetan Sharma
for a last-ball six to steer Pakistan to victory in the Asia Cup
final in Sharjah but the ghosts of that day still continues to haunt
the former Indian pacer.
Sharma, on the silver jubilee of that day, said he had faced tough
times after the Sharjah match and credited his coach Deshprem Azad
for lifting him from depression.
"I try to forget that six but people do not let me.
People do not forget things -- either good or bad -- that happens
during India-Pakistan clashes," Sharma told PTI-Bhasha.
"People won't remember the hat-trick against New Zealand in 1987
World Cup or the good performance against England but that Miandad
six is one thing they will never forget," he said.
