'I thought it was the best delivery in the world': Monty Panesar recalls 'that' magical ball to dismiss Sachin Tendulkar

It's been nine years since Monty Panesar's ripper of a delivery that castled Sachin Tendulkar in a Test match in Mumbai, but the dismissal is one that is etched in the minds of cricket fans. With India batting first on a Day 1 turning deck, Panesar pitched a ball on middle stump, got it to turn and rip, brought Tendulkar forward and clipped the top of the batsman's off-stump. And when I bowled that ball to Tendulkar, I just thought, yeah, I want to hit the top of off," Panesar told Firstpost during a podcast. Panesar bowled with the SG ball – ones that are used for Test matches in India – but remembered them behaving a lot like England's Duke's ball, which aided hi further.
