achin Tendulkar made his Test debut against Pakistan aged just aged 16 years and 205 days and former India spinner Abdul Qadir recalled meeting the young master blaster.

Qadir recalled how a teenaged Tendulkar took on the challenge of the Pakistan bowlers and even hit him for four sixes in a 30-over exhibition match in Peshawar.

"I had a sense of affection for Sachin because he was a kid and he played very well," Quadir said in the second session called 'Spin is King' at the Salaam Cricket 2018 held at the Hotel Address Boulevard in Dubai on Monday.

"Actually what happened was it was a one-day game and at the end of the day because of the rain, there was a huge crowd which had gathered, so the organisers decided to make it a 30-overs per side game," Qadir recalled.

"India won the toss and elected to bat. Out came Kris Srikkanth and Sachin Tendulkar. When I came in to bowl Srikkanth was on strike. I bowled a maiden to Srikkanth.

"After the over I went to Sachin and said, "this is not a one-day international match so you should try and hit me for a six in the next over. And if you succeed you will become a star". He didn't say anything to me but the next over he hit me for three sixes," Qadir recalled.

Tendulkar scored 53 runs off 18 balls in the match including an over in which he scored 27 runs (6, 4, 0, 6, 6, 6) off Qadir.

 

The Pakistan spinner recalled the match, saying that he was trying his best to get Tendulkar out, but got hit for three sixes instead.

"At the other end Mushtaq Ahmed was bowling and Sachin hit him for four sixes. And I want to make it clear that I was trying to get him out by all means. But it was his ability, talent and skill that he hit me for 3 sixes," Qadir said

Exhibition game, Peshawar, 1989

A suitable beginning - Tendulkar takes Qadir on

Electrifying passages revisits ten great passages of play that exemplify the intensity and passion of the rivalry between India and Pakistan ...

The official one-dayer had been abandoned because of bad light and a 20-over exhibition match organised instead. Pakistan put on 157 and India only got close thanks to an 18-ball 53 from a 16-year-old Sachin Tendulkar. One over from Abdul Qadir read: 6, 0, 4, 6 6 6. It announced Tendulkar to the world.

Abdul Qadir
The game was being played in the festive spirit. I had just bowled a maiden to Krishnamachari Srikkanth and I went to Sachin, who was the non-striker, and told him that when I bowled him the next over he shouldn't treat me as Abdul Qadir, but just as any other bowler from his galli or school, and go for his shots, as that would be good for his future. He was just a young boy then and I wanted to give him confidence.

He just smiled at me and didn't say anything. Next over when I came on to bowl to him, he stepped out to hit the first ball for six over long-off. He was dropped at midwicket later in that over as he tried for another big one, but he managed three more sixes. It wasn't like I was just feeding him: I was trying my best to get him out, but he was just so talented that he gave me no chance.

Interviewed by Nagraj Gollapudi.

Sachin Tendulkar
When I came in to bat we needed 69 runs in five overs or so. I had a go at Mushtaq Ahmed who had taken two wickets and hit him for a couple of sixes. Qadir then came up to me said, "Bachchon ko kyon mar rahe ho? Hamein bhi maar dikhao" ("Why are you only hitting the kid? Hit me too.") Qadir was a great bowler and I was only playing my first series. I didn't say anything, but it fired me up. I took up the challenge and gave it a go. Ultimately we fell short only by four runs.

Krishnamachari Srikkanth
This innings was played at a time when nobody knew about Sachin and what he was capable of, so it was totally unexpected. Watching him from the other end, I was astonished at the kind of shots he played and especially the way he took on Qadir. It is unfortunate that that match isn't an official ODI, for it was one of the best innings I have seen.

Srikkanth captained India and put on 65 runs with Tendulkar.
