'We came in prepared, there was no competition': Irfan Pathan on bowl-out against Pakistan in 2007 WT20

India TV News  

The inaugural T20 World Cup in 2007 saw a bowl-out match quite early in the tournament when arch-rivals India and Pakistan played out a thrilling tie. Pakistan's captain accepted it in one of the press conferences that they didn't know about the bowl-out," Irfan said on a special Watch Along of the 2007 ICC World T20 between India and Pakistan on Star Sports network and Disney+ Hotstar. Robin Uthappa, who was also the part of the squad, revealed that coach Venkatesh Prasad used to conduct bowl-out sessions, which aided the team when the time finally arrived against Pakistan. At a very young age in his first tournament and his first game as captain, a guy went up to him, his teammate went up to him saying, who is a non-bowler and is not his main skill, went up to him and said 'I have to bowl and I am going to hit the stumps' and I swear he didn't even bat an eyelid and said ok bowl," said Uthappa.
