The Pakistan legend said, 18 years after retiring from all formats of cricket, he once took to the field to bowl at the request of his brother-in-law. When he took the ball in hand, he hoped to take the wicket. But instead, a ‘Sardarji’ (Sikh gentleman) hit him for four sixes. After this incident, he never again attempted or expressed the desire to bowl in public at the ground.
Pakistan’s legendary fast bowler Waqar Younis narrated a funny story of his bowling career. Waqar revealed on Shubhankar Mishra’s podcast that many years after retirement, he bowled a match in which he hit four sixes. He never tried bowling again after that. This incident happened in Sydney, Australia.
Almost 18 years after retirement, Waqar Younis bowled during a match in Sydney. A ‘Sardarji’ who came to bat touched Waqar’s feet as a sign of respect. Waqar smiled and blessed him, but the situation changed completely as soon as the bowling started. That ‘Sardarji’ hit four sixes off Waqar’s ball. Waqar, known as the ‘Yorker King’, proved to be a complete failure on the day.

When asked on the podcast if he ever felt like taking the ball in hand again and showing ‘how to bowl’, Waqar laughed and admitted that he faced a lot of trouble on that occasion. Bowling again after so many years of retirement was no easy task, and the batsman left no stone unturned.
Everyone present in the podcast laughed after hearing this incident. The clip is now going viral on social media, with fans commenting that even a legendary player like Waqar can sometimes be put in embarrassing situations. Even today, Waqar Younis is considered the master of ‘reverse swing’ and ‘yorker’ in the world of cricket.
