Forgotten Classics-Pakistan Vs. India at Bangalore IN 2005

-

When Inzamam’s Warriors Made History!

March 28, 2005—The day Pakistan owned Bangalore! Inzamam-ul-Haq and his squad pulled off a 168-run W, leveling the series 1-1. From Younis Khan’s GOAT-level knock to Afridi’s firecracking innings and a final-day meltdown by India, this Test was straight-up legendary!

Peak Test Cricket Vibes!

Younis Khan went full beast mode with a 267, while Inzi, on his 100th Test, casually dropped a 184. Meanwhile, Sehwag went brrrr with a 201 for India. Pakistan got a 121-run lead, and then… chaos.

Afridi entered the chat. He turned Irfan Pathan into a bowling machine, smashing 58 off 34 (SR 170), while Yasir Hameed’s smooth 76 added to the carnage. Then, the most wholesome moment—Younis Khan, on 84, told Inzi to declare so they could go for the kill.

The Final Day Was Straight Cinema

India needed 383, and by Day 4’s end, they were 25/0. But then came Abdul Razzaq’s ninja move—a wild run-out that sent Sehwag packing for 38 (Inzi probably hugged him so hard he needed a physio after 😭).

India switched to defense mode, trying to crawl to a draw. Bad idea.

The spin squad—Afridi, Kaneria, and Arshad Khan—went sicko mode. Afridi’s spell? 17 overs, 7 maidens, 13 runs, 3 scalps (Tendulkar, Laxman, Ganguly). Arshad Khan sniped Dravid.

And then came the final moment—Kaneria spun one past Balaji, his bat flew off, and boom, Pakistan wrapped it up with 6 overs to spare!

Certified Legends of the Match

🏏 Younis Khan—MVP + Player of the Series!
🏏 Inzamam-ul-Haq—Scored big in his 100th Test!
🏏 Afridi—Flipped the script with bat & ball!

That one hit different! Two decades later, and it’s still peak Pakistan cricket energy. 🔥
