He was included in India’s playing XI for the second T20I after Ishan Kishan was ruled out due to injury. Former Pakistan fast bowler Waqar Younis has made some interesting choices while picking between Indian and Pakistani cricket stars. In a rapid-fire round, he backed Indian greats in most of the comparisons and picked only one Pakistan player in his combined India-Pakistan XI. The former Pakistan captain’s choices included Sachin Tendulkar over Inzamam-ul-Haq , Virat Kohli over Babar Azam and MS Dhoni over Javed Miandad . Waqar was first asked to choose between batting legends Sachin Tendulkar and Inzamam-ul-Haq. He picked the former India captain. Waqar was then asked a more specific question about finishing matches, with Dhoni and Miandad as the two options. He explained why he preferred the former India captain. Q: Match khatam karna ho to MS Dhoni ya Javed Miandad? The only Pakistan player Waqar selected in the rapid-fire round was Saeed Anwar, whom he preferred over former India opener Virender Sehwag. However, he decided not to pick either player. Sooryavanshi has been in the spotlight following his performances in the ongoing T20I series against New Zealand. The teenager scored just four runs in that match.
