Indian cricket fraternity's tribute for Pakistan spin legend Qadir, who would have turned
64 on September 15, passed away on Friday before he could be brought to a hospital.
Tendulkar, who as a 16-year-old had played many attacking shots against Qadir during an
exhibition match, described him as one of the best spinners of his times"Remember playing
against Abdul Qadir, one of the best spinners of his times. My heartfelt condolences to
his family. RIP," Tendulkar wrote on his twitter handle.
Qadir has been one of the best leg spinners in the history of cricket. The legendary
leg spinner claimed that he can bowl the same ball in 10 different ways.
ABDUL QADIR ON SACHIN TENDULKAR:
“It was his talent and ability, talent and skill that he hit me for three sixes.”
Abdul Qadir often lauded Sachin Tendulkarfor hitting him around the park in a friendly
match at Peshawar. Qadir fondly told the story how he asked a 16-year-old Tendulkar
to take him on as the match did not have an international status.Advertising“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,” he told India Today.
