The explaination about Saqlain & Ajmal is wow ❤ Dono kitne different type ke bowlers the , usko kitne proper tarike se explain kiya yaar. And also good explaination by Irfan and Wasim 👍

[@VergeWithFacebook]

Finally someone took Saqlain’s name. As an Indian, I admired him and Warne as a spinner. Both were legend to me.

Saqlain Mushtaq is a legend. Muralidharan is probably the best off spinner but Saqlain Mushtaq was the most creative, dangerous and versatile!

[@aniket385]

Sehwag in 2004 tour , ended his career . Sehwag had a natural talent against off spinners...

[@man86hoos1]

​@@aniket385saqlain in 1999 against sehwag would have been an amazing contest. In the 1999 series against India he got 20 wickets, 5 in each innings. This was not common at that time. India used to take spinners apart in India and hence Saqi's achievement was amazing

[@nishantc9100]

I am surprised to see the decline in the Pakistan spin department in this current team. There were legends like late Abdul Qadir, Saqlain Mushtaq, Mushtaq Ahmed, Danish Kaneria, Saeed Ajmal, Intikhab Alam and even Shahid Afridi and Imad Wasim. Today they don’t have those skills. Pakistan cricket has focused entirely on T20 in the last 10 years. The decline is showing in the players skills, abilities to purchase spin, doosra, beat the bowlers in flight and also fitness to play ODI and Tests.

[@Warlock786]

Gambhir was absolutely right about Saqlain ! The all time greats of the game
